Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

FAQs for West Kensington
Can you do a hog roast in Gwendwr Garden?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in West Kensington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
