Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our hog roast hire works in Barnehurst
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Barnehurst: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a London neighbourhood like Barnehurst, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a picture. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Barnehurst is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
What affects the price in Barnehurst
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
