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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About our hog roast hire in Gallows Corner
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. For christmas parties and wakes, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
London gardens around Gallows Corner are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Gallows Corner is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Questions from Gallows Corner
What if our house in Gallows Corner has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
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.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is all of Greater London covered?
We cater across Greater London, including Gallows Corner. Ask for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
See how we price or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
