FAQs for Kensington
What’s the nearest station to Kensington?
Kensington Olympia station, in Kensington itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kensington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For event organisers in Kensington
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Kensington, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
