Corporate hog roast in West Kensington, slow-roasted on site
A summer party for staff in West Kensington does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater customer days and milestone celebrations.
Around West Kensington, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams generally need to approve gas equipment and access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

West Kensington questions
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.
Could you cook in Gwendwr Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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 long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

For event organisers in West Kensington
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Shelter for the team
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
West Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
