About our hog roast hire in Heath Park
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Popular choices include coleslaw, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater festive gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Around Heath Park, 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 a picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in Heath Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Common questions in Heath Park
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Alban Church of England: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Heath Park?
Gidea Park station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Parking near the spot
- Access for our equipment, without steps
As a London location, Heath Park 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 before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
