Hog roast hire in Chelsea, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are often asked to cater milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening, with salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
In a London neighbourhood like Chelsea, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a picture. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
