Hog roast hire for your event in Crooked Billet
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’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for village fêtes and school fairs and garden parties and barbecues.
Around Crooked Billet, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a picture. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Crooked Billet, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

FAQs for Crooked Billet
Can you do a hog roast in Cannizaro Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Crooked Billet?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
