Hog roast hire in Holland Park, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and community events, with crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Around Holland Park, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Evenings in Holland Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
