Hog roast for events for West End
West End events: pitches and permissions
West End is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. West End is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A summer fête at St Mary's Church is the classic setting for a hog roast. A school like Soho Parish CofE Primary School can book a hog roast for a fair, fun run or sports day.
For events in W1F, W1D and W1T, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. From Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. With the A301 and A400 close by, West End is easy for us to reach. Other places close to West End we cover include Seven Dials (1 mile east), St Giles (1 mile north-east), Soho (1 mile west), Chinatown (1 mile south-west) and Covent Garden (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).

Hog roast for events in West End, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. On the menu are hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and tournaments and sports days.
In West End, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Why choose a hog roast in West End?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why West End hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-May events in West End have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A level pitch with firm ground
As a London location, West End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in West End
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in West End?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
