About our hog roast hire in Carpenders Park
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Carpenders Park, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include christmas parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with new potatoes, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
London gardens around Carpenders Park are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
