Slow-roasted pork in Aldwych
About our hog roast hire in Aldwych
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Aldwych. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wakes and christmas fairs.
In a London neighbourhood like Aldwych, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What affects the price in Aldwych
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late September evenings in Aldwych lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Questions from Aldwych
Can you cater after a service at St Mary le Strand?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Aldwych?
London Charing Cross station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

What else we do in Aldwych
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
As a London location, Aldwych is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
