A hog roast near Ealing
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How our hog roast hire works in Ealing
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In Ealing, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Around midsummer it stays light in Ealing until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

Ealing questions
Can you do a hog roast in Walpole Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Ealing?
The closest is Ealing Broadway station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
