About our hog roast hire in Little Chelsea
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Little Chelsea, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve coleslaw, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are often booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries.
London gardens around Little Chelsea are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Why choose a hog roast in Little Chelsea?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Little Chelsea hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late September evenings in Little Chelsea lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Common questions in Little Chelsea
Which station is closest to Little Chelsea?
Imperial Wharf station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
