FAQs for Kensal Town
We’re gathering after a service at St Thomas Kensal Town: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
