Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Kent Street
How far is Kent Street from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Kent Street?
Battle station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Kent Street stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Kent Street
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
