Your questions about a hog roast in Maida Vale
We are gathering after a service at St Peter Elgin Avenue: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Maida Vale?
The closest is Kilburn High Road station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. 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.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day

How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Maida Vale, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
