Hog roast hire for your event in Haggerston
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and summer garden parties.

Why choose a hog roast in Haggerston?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Questions from Haggerston
Can you do a hog roast in Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Haggerston?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Light matters for a long roast: in Haggerston, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- 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 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.
How to prepare

Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
As a London location, Haggerston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
