Connaught Village: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Connaught Village?
London Paddington station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
When 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 happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Connaught Village hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Light matters for a long roast: in Connaught Village, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
