Hog roast hire for your event in Cannon Hill
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We’re often asked to cater summer garden parties and community events, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
In a London neighbourhood like Cannon Hill, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Cannon Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cannon Hill?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at St James Merton?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is all of Greater London covered?
Greater London is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
As a London location, Cannon Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Cannon Hill
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evenings in Cannon Hill stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
