Questions from Kentish Town
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kentish Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Is turkey available?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count who does not eat pork
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
