Hog roast hire in Church End, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve crackling, new potatoes and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for corporate events and christmas fairs.
London gardens around Church End are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Evenings in Church End 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
