What we serve, dish by dish

Hog roast hire for your event in Little London
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and corporate events.
Somewhere as small as Little London, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Little London hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
