Hog roast hire in Hadley, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, 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. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and shows and christmas fairs.
Gardens in Hadley tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Perfect for your event in Hadley
You do not need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. We bring the rest.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near Hadley, such as:
- Summer garden parties
- Club events and presentations
- Christmas parties
- Gatherings after a funeral
A green space like King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.

- Allergen information for every dish
- A clear list of what’s included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Where the roaster can go in Hadley
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather

Hadley: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you come to Hadley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Hadley and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
