What comes off the roaster

Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.

Hog roast hire in Bow, carved to order
People book a hog roast in Bow for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. On the menu are hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for weddings and receptions and sports clubs and societies.
In a small place like Bow, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Bow: your questions answered
Is Bow too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Bow from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
