Hog roast hire in Blackwall, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and parties at home.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Blackwall is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Your questions about a hog roast in Blackwall
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Blackwall?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Where the roaster can go in Blackwall
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Blackwall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 will say what we think before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Stuffing and apple sauce
