Hog roast hire for your event in New Southgate
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for weddings, day or evening and sports clubs and societies.
London gardens around New Southgate are frequently 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. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In New Southgate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
