Hog roast hire for Kitts End

Hog roast hire for your event in Kitts End

It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Typical bookings include community events and wakes, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.

Gardens in Kitts End tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose a hog roast in Kitts End?

Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

  • Our staff serve and clear
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.

What we serve, dish by dish

Crackling

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Who books hog roast hire in Kitts End?

Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

Step by step

The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Planning an evening hog roast in Kitts End? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
  5. We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Before we arrive

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What affects the price in Kitts End

Here’s what affects the price:

  • Season and day of the week
  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • Crockery choices

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • Rough numbers
  • Your date and serving time

Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
  • Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

Catered or do it yourself?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Bringing a hog roast to Kitts End

Kitts End is in Greater London. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Kitts End and the surrounding area. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Kitts End to London (13 miles away).

A green space like King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Churches such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does.

For events in EN5, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. We also bring hog roasts to events in Dancers Hill (1 mile north-west), Hadley (1 mile south), High Barnet (1 mile south) and Arkley (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in London (13 miles south), City of Westminster (11 miles south), Marylebone (11 miles south), Kensington (12 miles south), St Pancras (11 miles south) and Shoreditch (11 miles south-east).

Well-known places in the area include Barnet Urban District (1.6 miles south) and Potters Bar Museum (1.6 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Hadley Green and Darland's Lake.

  • Local schools include Dame Alice Owen's School (1.3 miles north) and Susi Earnshaw Theatre School (1.4 miles south)
  • Nearby, you will find Former King William IV Public House (0.6 miles south)
