Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

Why choose a hog roast in West Kensington?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in West Kensington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or W14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.

West Kensington questions
Can you do a hog roast in Gwendwr Garden?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Cuthbert's: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you travel across Greater London?
We cater across Greater London. Contact us for a price.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
