About our hog roast hire in Mapesbury
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Mapesbury, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings and garden parties and barbecues.
Gardens in Mapesbury tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

Mapesbury questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael the Archangel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Mapesbury has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you cater in Mapesbury?
Yes, Mapesbury is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Is all of Greater London covered?
We cater across Greater London. Ask for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
As a London location, Mapesbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Mapesbury is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. 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.
