How our hog roast hire works in Earl's Court
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We are frequently asked to cater parties at home and milestone birthdays, serving spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and new potatoes.
In Earl's Court, 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. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Earl's Court 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.

Questions from Earl's Court
Can you cater after a service at St Cuthbert's?
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.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Earl's Court?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Earl's Court until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

- 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.
Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
