Why choose a hog roast in Cowley?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Cowley hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Where the roaster can go in Cowley
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Cowley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Cowley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
