Other occasions in West Hampstead
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from kit
- Shelter for crew
- A level area at base
As a London location, West Hampstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
