How hog roast hire works in City of London

Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and sports clubs and societies.

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready.

It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

What you’ll pay

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding

Prices and what affects them

Each price is built from:

The serving time and how long we’re on site
The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Distance from us
Season and day of the week

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Details that help

Here’s what we will ask:

Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Any dietary needs or allergies
An estimate of numbers
The venue or postcode

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.

Questions to ask before booking

Which meats, sides and extras are included
Travel and any London charges
The space, cover and access they need
When payments are due and what happens if plans change

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Your questions about a hog roast in City of London

Where does the hog roast go?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

Can you cater in City of London?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, City of London included. Send us the address for a quote.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Is our garden big enough?

Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.

What if it rains?

Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

Can you work around our timings?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
