How our hog roast hire works in Old Ford
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For sports clubs and societies and garden parties and barbecues, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In Old Ford, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Old Ford until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a 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.

- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
