Slow-roasted pork in Dormers Wells
Hog roast hire in Dormers Wells, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We’re frequently asked to cater club events and presentations and parties at home, with salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
London gardens around Dormers Wells are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Step by step

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
Take a look at our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What affects the price in Dormers Wells
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Dormers Wells questions
What if our house in Dormers Wells has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at Emmanuel Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Dormers Wells is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
