Slow-roasted pork in Hither Green
Hog roast hire in Hither Green, carved to order
In Hither Green, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. For birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days, we can cook salads, new potatoes and coleslaw and more.
Around Hither Green, 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 is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What else we do in Hither Green
Where the roaster can go in Hither Green
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Hither Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Hither Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Your questions about a hog roast in Hither Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Swithun: 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.
Which station is closest to Hither Green?
Hither Green station, in Hither Green itself.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
