Hog roast hire in Anerley, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Anerley, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and wakes.
Gardens in Anerley tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Anerley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
