About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- 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
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Planning an evening hog roast in Hackney Central?

Questions from Hackney Central
What if our house in Hackney Central has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
For event organisers in Hackney Central
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
