Hog roast hire for your event in Adelphi

A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Adelphi. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are salads, crackling and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for weddings, day or evening and big birthdays and anniversaries.

In Adelphi, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
  • Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
  • Ask about allergies when you send invitations

Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.

A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Before you choose a spot

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

  • A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
  • Vehicle access close to the cooking area
  • Any venue rules sorted in advance

Adelphi is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Why Adelphi hosts choose us

  • Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Served at the time you choose

The menu, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Occasions we serve in Adelphi

A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.

How to compare hog roast caterers

How the day works

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Planning an evening hog roast in Adelphi? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Adelphi: your questions answered

Can you cater after a service at Savoy Chapel?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Which station is closest to Adelphi?

Adelphi has its own station: London Charing Cross station.

Where does the hog roast go?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

What’s the price?

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What’s included?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

What happens in bad weather?

Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

How we price a hog roast

There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:

  • Whether you want china
  • The number of people
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • How long the roast and service take

A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What we need to know

These are the details we need:

  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the event is
  • Any venue rules

To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
