South Kensington: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Chapel of St Luke: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Kensington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A step-free way into the garden
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
As a London location, South Kensington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
