About our hog roast hire in Ditton Hill
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. For club events and presentations and big birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
In Ditton Hill, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why us?

FAQs for Ditton Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ditton Hill?
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.
Could you cook in Stokes Field?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Ditton Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
