What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact at base
- A covered eating area
- A level area at base
As a London location, Kings Cross is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What else we do in Kings Cross
The menu, dish by dish

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Kings Cross ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Kings Cross: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Kings Cross?
Kings Cross has its own station: London Kings Cross station.
What if our house in Kings Cross has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you come to Kings Cross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kings Cross and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal is not offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
