FAQs for Crook Log
Can you cater after a service at Trinity Baptist Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Crook Log?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you travel across Greater London?
We cater across Greater London. Contact us for a price.

Hog roast hire in Crook Log, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For sports clubs and societies and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Gardens in Crook Log tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
