Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Kensal Rise
What if our house in Kensal Rise has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Queen’s Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together.

We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us

- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening parties in Kensal Rise need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
