How our hog roast hire works in Cricklewood
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. For parties at home and weddings, day or evening, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
London gardens around Cricklewood are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Cricklewood, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us 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.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
