About our hog roast hire in Little London
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We are frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and parties at home, serving crackling, salads and hog roast rolls.
For a rural spot like Little London, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What do people get?

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Little London until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
