Hog roast hire in Albany Park, carved to order
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and corporate events.
London gardens around Albany Park are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Common questions in Albany Park
Could you cook in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Lawrence church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

For event organisers in Albany Park
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Albany Park 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Albany Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
