About our hog roast hire in Hanwell
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Hanwell: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and festive gatherings.
Around Hanwell, 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 picture. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Hanwell, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Hanwell questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mellitus: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hanwell?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where the roaster can go in Hanwell
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Parking near the spot
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
As a London location, Hanwell 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 will advise before booking.
