Wedding hog roast in North Kensington, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it is evening receptions and rustic barn receptions, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
London weddings around North Kensington often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Common questions in North Kensington
What’s the nearest station to North Kensington?
The closest is Kensal Green station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Dissenters' Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
