Hog roast hire in Elm Park, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and community events, we can cook salads, new potatoes and crackling for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Elm Park, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a photo. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

Elm Park: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Elm Park?
Emerson Park station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What if our house in Elm Park has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
