What affects the price in Kings Cross
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating

For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
As a London location, Kings Cross 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Kings Cross, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Kings Cross: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kings Cross?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Cross Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
