Hog roast hire in Plashet
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in Plashet 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 is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.

How our hog roast hire works in Plashet
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Whether it’s summer garden parties and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of salads, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Plashet, 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 a photo helps us check. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Plashet: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Plashet?
Woodgrange Park station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you cover Plashet?
Yes, Plashet is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Planning a hog roast in Plashet

Thinking of a hog roast in West Ham Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Within reach of Plashet are historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (2.2 miles north) and Eastbury Manor House (2.3 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early.
Wherever your event is in E6, E12 and E7, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event in a garden on Fry Road, Edith Road and Hilda Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Plashet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
