Hog roast hire for your event in Brasted
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 are frequently asked to cater staff days and open days and christmas fairs, with salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Around Brasted, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a photo helps us check. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Brasted hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
For event organisers in Brasted
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Parking near the spot
Brasted 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
