Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

West Kensington: your questions answered
Could you cook in Gwendwr Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to West Kensington?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
