About our hog roast hire in Bulphan
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for sports clubs and societies and parties at home.
Gardens in Bulphan tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
As a London location, Bulphan is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Bulphan, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and 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 pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Why choose a hog roast in Bulphan?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book our hog roast in Bulphan
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal

- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
