About our hog roast hire in Muswell Hill
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include wakes and staff days and open days, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling.
London gardens around Muswell Hill are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What affects the price in Muswell Hill
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

FAQs for Muswell Hill
Can you cater after a service at O'Neill's pub?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Muswell Hill?
Alexandra Palace station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is all of Greater London covered?
We cater across Greater London. Contact us for a price.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Muswell Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
