Hog roast hire for your event in Lower Clapton
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and corporate events.
Gardens in Lower Clapton tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Where the roaster can go in Lower Clapton
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Lower Clapton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about a hog roast in Lower Clapton
Could you cook in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Clapton?
Lower Clapton has its own station: Homerton station.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
