What affects the price in Kilburn

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
As a London location, Kilburn is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Kilburn questions
What if our house in Kilburn has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Queen’s Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you come to Kilburn?
Yes, Kilburn is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Occasions we serve in Kilburn
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:

If you had Queen’s Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
