Hog roast hire in Hampstead Norreys, carved to order

We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it’s gatherings after a funeral and birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Hampstead Norreys, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evenings in Hampstead Norreys stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
