Hog roast hire for your event in Bermondsey
In Bermondsey, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it is weddings and receptions and garden parties and barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your guests.
London gardens around Bermondsey are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Your questions about a hog roast in Bermondsey
What if our house in Bermondsey has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Greater London is part of our area. Contact us for a price.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in Bermondsey until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
