Questions from Westbourne
Can you do a hog roast in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Westbourne has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Hog roast hire in Westbourne, slow-roasted on site
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Westbourne, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are frequently asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs, with crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Around Westbourne, 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’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Why choose a hog roast in Westbourne?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote

How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Around midsummer it stays light in Westbourne until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive

Planning a hog roast in Westbourne
Westbourne is about 1 mile north of Kensington, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in Westbourne, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Westbourne is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
A green space like Emslie Horniman's Pleasance is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is London Paddington station, roughly 0.8 miles east of the centre.
We cater events across the W2, W11 and W9 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Salem Road, Acklam Road and Morgan Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Main roads around Westbourne include the A404 and A4206, which makes travel to your event easy. If your venue is just outside Westbourne, we also cover Westbourne Green (1 mile north-east), Bayswater (1 mile south), Little Venice (1 mile north-east), Maida Vale (1 mile north) and Paddington Green (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles east), St Pancras (3 miles east), Shoreditch (5 miles east), Walthamstow (9 miles north-east), Hoxton (5 miles east) and Whitechapel (5 miles east).

- Local facilities include Ladbroke Estate (0.5 miles south-west) and Abdus Salam Library (1.5 miles south-east)
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, Westbourne is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
