A hog roast across SW1P: what to know
SW1P covers everything from Kennington, Victoria and Little Portugal to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Westminster: For guests coming by train, London Victoria station is about 0.6 miles away. Thinking of a hog roast in St James's Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Around midsummer it stays light in Westminster until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

- How long the roast and service take

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Questions from SW1P
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you cater in SW1P?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
