Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Kensal Rise
What if our house in Kensal Rise has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Queen’s Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Kensal Rise, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Where the roaster can go in Kensal Rise
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The location manager’s agreement
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A covered eating area
As a London location, Kensal Rise is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
