A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at how we price or what a hog roast costs.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. A summer party in North Kensington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
FAQs for North Kensington
Could you cook in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Dissenters' Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater in North Kensington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including North Kensington and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
