Slow-roasted pork in Hackbridge
Hog roast hire for your event in Hackbridge
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, 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. Whether it is wedding breakfasts and evening food and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.
Around Hackbridge, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Hackbridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Hackbridge questions
What if our house in Hackbridge has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at St. Mark's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
