What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Pollards Hill is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Getting ready for the day

How our hog roast hire works in Pollards Hill
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Pollards Hill. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
London gardens around Pollards Hill are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Why choose a hog roast in Pollards Hill?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose

What affects the price in Pollards Hill
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Pollards Hill
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Access for our equipment, without steps
As a London location, Pollards Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
