Hog roast hire in Hillingdon
How our hog roast hire works in Hillingdon
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater clubhouse events and work summer parties.
London gardens around Hillingdon are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Your questions about a hog roast in Hillingdon
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Hillingdon?
West Drayton station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Light matters for a long roast: in Hillingdon, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. 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. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book our hog roast in Hillingdon
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our prices page or the cost guide.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Parking near the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
