Slow-roasted pork in North Brixton
Hog roast hire in North Brixton, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Around North Brixton, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a picture. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
