Hog roast hire for your event in North Cray

In a London neighbourhood like North Cray, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a picture. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
As a London location, North Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
