Slow-roasted pork in Kenley
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How our hog roast hire works in Kenley
In Kenley, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We’re frequently asked to cater parties at home and wakes and memorial gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, salads and coleslaw.
In a London neighbourhood like Kenley, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a photo helps us check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Kenley
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Parking near the spot
Kenley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Kenley
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
What affects the price in Kenley
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Kenley hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Common questions in Kenley
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kenley?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Dollypers 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.

How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater in Kenley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kenley and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: around Kenley, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
