FAQs for Kentish Town
Could you cook in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kentish Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
A hog roast or other catering?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? 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 is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September events in Kentish Town lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
