FAQs for South Kensington
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Kensington?
Often, 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.
Which station is closest to South Kensington?
The closest is West Brompton station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you come to South Kensington?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

- A level area at base
- The location manager’s agreement
