Hog roast hire in Clare Market, slow-roasted on site
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and staff days and open days.
London gardens around Clare Market are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Common questions in Clare Market
Could you cook in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Clare Market?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Is all of Greater London covered?
We cater across Greater London, including Clare Market. Ask for a quote.
Do you cover Clare Market?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which normally keeps the cost down. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Clare Market hosts choose us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Clare Market until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
As a London location, Clare Market is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
