Slow-roasted pork in Paddington
Hog roast hire for your event in Paddington
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are new potatoes, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for community events and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Around Paddington, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a photo helps us check. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning a hog roast in Paddington
Paddington is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cater events of every size in Paddington. Paddington is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Historic houses near Paddington include Winfield House (1 mile north) and Kensington Palace (1.1 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. After a service at Church of St John the Evangelist, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house.
For events in W2, W1H and W1U, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean an event in a garden on Harrow Road, Craven Road and Harbet Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Paddington is on the A5 and A40, which makes the journey straightforward.

Questions from Paddington
What’s the nearest station to Paddington?
Paddington has its own station: London Paddington station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Paddington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
