Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Holland Park
Which station is closest to Holland Park?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Kensington Palace Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Holland Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.

- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
