How our hog roast hire works in Gunnersbury
In Gunnersbury, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and birthdays and anniversaries, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Gardens in Gunnersbury tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the spot
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Gunnersbury 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Gunnersbury
Could you cook in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Michael's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
