Questions from Paddington
Could you cook in Royal Parks of London?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Paddington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater in Paddington?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A short route for our equipment
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
Paddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike, with roast potatoes on the side.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
