Gunnersbury: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Gunnersbury?
Gunnersbury has its own station: Gunnersbury station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Gunnersbury?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.

Other occasions in Gunnersbury
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Balance the food line-up
- Halal isn’t offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
