- What crockery is supplied
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
How our hog roast hire works in Broadwater Farm
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and garden parties and barbecues, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Around Broadwater Farm, 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast compared with other options

- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue

- Time on site

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Broadwater Farm, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
