Hog roast hire for your event in Church End
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re often asked to cater clubhouse events and gatherings after a funeral, with hog roast rolls, salads and coleslaw.
Somewhere like Church End, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Church End: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St. Leonard: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Church End from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Church End until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send 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.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
