Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

Hog roast hire for your event in Little London
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Little London, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Little London questions
Is Little London close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Little London?
Yes, Little London is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Little London, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your guests
