DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Questions from West Kensington
Do you trade at school fairs around West Kensington?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to West Kensington?
Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-May events in West Kensington have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
