Hog roast for events in North End, carved to order
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. Typical bookings include community days and street fairs and fun runs and sports events, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Events in North End range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch we can reach. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in North End are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or W14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Details of what the event requires
As a London location, North End 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.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Questions from North End
What’s the nearest station to North End?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if our house in North End has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
