Hog roast hire for your event in Childs Hill
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Childs Hill: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We’re frequently asked to cater parties at home and weddings and receptions, serving salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Childs Hill, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Common questions in Childs Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Childs Hill?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Childs Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
As a London location, Childs 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
