For event organisers in South Kensington

Common questions in South Kensington
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South 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.
Do you trade at school fairs around South Kensington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cover South Kensington?
Yes, South Kensington is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Your trader requirements
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
South Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
