A hog roast near Seething Wells

Hog roast hire for your event in Seething Wells

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Seething Wells, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it’s staff days and open days and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we can cook coleslaw, salads and crackling.

Around Seething Wells, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a photo helps us check. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Space, access and the venue

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:

  • Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
  • Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

As a London location, Seething Wells 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.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

  • If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
  • Add a dietary question to your invitations
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information

Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

How we price a hog roast

Your quote depends on:

  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Whether you want china
  • The date and time of year

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Details that help

When you get in touch, please mention:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • What the outdoor space is like
  • Rules from the venue or landowner

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

How the day works

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Seething Wells lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

  3. We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
  4. Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear the serving area and pack away.
