Hog roast hire in Kentish Town, carved to order
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and parties at home, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
London gardens around Kentish Town are often small and close to neighbours, 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 roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Common questions in Kentish Town
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity with St Barnabas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cater in Kentish Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kentish Town and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Where the roaster can go in Kentish Town
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Kentish Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
