About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Corporate hog roast in North Kensington, slow-roasted on site
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We serve hog roast rolls, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone celebrations and summer team parties.
In North Kensington, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Tell us about site access and security. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
As a London location, North Kensington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Lunchtime bookings in North Kensington are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing
