The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, it is dark in Kensal Green by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

A hog roast or other catering?

Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
