Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and salads, and typical bookings are for memorial events and wakes at home.
Wakes in Kentish Town are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Kentish Town: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Kentish Town?
Kentish Town has its own station: Kentish Town West station.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity with St Barnabas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
If the service runs late, we wait.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Autumn and winter afternoons in Kentish Town get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
