Hog roast hire in Eltham, carved to order
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 stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it is weddings and receptions and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In Eltham, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- 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
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally 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.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Eltham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Eltham: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Eltham?
Eltham has its own station: Mottingham station.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
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.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Eltham
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Where the roaster can go in Eltham
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Eltham 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.
