A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A short route for the equipment
- A level outdoor area
- Clearance from walls and branches
West Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the service runs late, we wait.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is frequently simpler. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

West Kensington questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in West 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’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at St Cuthbert's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover West Kensington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including West Kensington and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn and winter afternoons in West Kensington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
