Questions from West Kensington
Which station is closest to West Kensington?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if our house in West Kensington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we’ll confirm.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
For an evening wrap.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near West Kensington, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
