Hog roast hire in Belvedere, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve crackling, coleslaw and salads, and we’re frequently booked for summer garden parties and christmas fairs.
London gardens around Belvedere are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
As a London location, Belvedere is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Belvedere questions
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Belvedere?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cover Belvedere?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Belvedere and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Belvedere, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Ask for a quote
