Hog roast hire for East Village
How our hog roast hire works in East Village
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and work summer parties, with hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads.
London gardens around East Village are often 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why East Village hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: around East Village, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Questions from East Village
Can you cater after a service at St Eleutherius?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Mabley Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you travel across Greater London?
Greater London is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How we price a hog roast
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What else we do in East Village
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Where the roaster can go in East Village
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Parking near the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
East Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
