A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or W7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Questions from Hanwell
Which station is closest to Hanwell?
Hanwell has its own station: Hanwell station.
Do you trade at school fairs around Hanwell?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you do charity events?
We’re happy to talk it through.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
As a London location, Hanwell 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Summer events in Hanwell have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
