How our corporate hog roast works in South Kensington
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Whether it is team days and away days and family fun days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For offices in and around South Kensington, the roaster typically goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

South Kensington questions
Can you do a hog roast in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Kensington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

For event organisers in South Kensington

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Comparing caterers
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- The full menu and the sides
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Whether VAT is included
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
