FAQs for Kitts End
Can you do a hog roast in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Kitts End has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.

What affects the price in Kitts End
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from locations
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base
As a London location, Kitts End 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
