About our Christmas hog roast in North Kensington
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s staff Christmas do’s and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook roast turkey, crackling and apple sauce and more.
For Christmas parties in North Kensington, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in North Kensington by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests

North Kensington questions

Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
