Hog roast hire for your event in Chingford Hatch
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and shows and milestone birthdays, we can cook rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and new potatoes and more.
London gardens around Chingford Hatch are frequently 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. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Questions from Chingford Hatch
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church of England Highams Park?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you cook in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you travel across Greater London?
Greater London is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
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.

Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: in Chingford Hatch, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a 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.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
