Hog roast hire in Kensal Green, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and work summer parties.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Kensal Green come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Kensal Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Kensal Green?
Kensal Green has its own station: Kensal Green station.
We are gathering after a service at St Martin: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cater in Kensal Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kensal Green and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
As a London location, Kensal Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
