Kensal Rise: your questions answered
Could you cook in Queen’s Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Kensal Rise has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Late September evenings in Kensal Rise lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
