How our hog roast hire works in Ardleigh Green
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas parties and village fêtes and school fairs, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In a London neighbourhood like Ardleigh Green, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Ardleigh Green

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
As a London location, Ardleigh Green 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
