Hog roast hire for your event in Redbridge
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are coleslaw, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater clubhouse events and community events.
In a small place like Redbridge, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed

FAQs for Redbridge
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cover the whole of Southampton?
We cover Southampton and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
