Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What the cooking area needs

- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Kentish Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or NW5 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset in Kentish Town is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
