How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Westbourne Green ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

How big a hog will we need?

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access to base
- Sign-off from the location
- A named contact at base
As a London location, Westbourne Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
