Hog roast hire in Elephant and Castle, carved to order

Whether it is parties at home and birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Elephant and Castle, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Elephant and Castle 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Elephant and Castle, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
