Hog roast hire in Angel
About our hog roast hire in Angel
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Angel, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In Angel, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Questions from Angel
Can you do a hog roast in Barnard Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Angel?
Often, 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.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you come to Angel?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Angel and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Travel to Angel
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally 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
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is

What else we do in Angel
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Angel is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 will advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Planning an evening hog roast in Angel?

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
