Hog roast hire in Harlington
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Light matters for a long roast: in Harlington, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Hog roast hire for your event in Harlington
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it’s wakes and work summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb and more.
London gardens around Harlington are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

FAQs for Harlington
Could you cook in Lake Farm Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Harlington?
Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Harlington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
