Hog roast hire around Paddington Green
Paddington Green is about 1 mile north-west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cater events of every size in Paddington Green. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Mary on Paddington Green Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Parks such as Kensington Gardens generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first.
Wherever your event is in W2, W1H and NW8, we can roast on site for your guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Harrow Road, Craven Road and Lanark Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Hog roast hire in Paddington Green, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For community events and work summer parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling and more.
Gardens in Paddington Green tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
As a London location, Paddington Green 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.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Paddington Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Common questions in Paddington Green
Could you cook in Kensington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Paddington Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.

A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
