Hog roast hire in Single Street, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and staff days and open days, with coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb.
In a London neighbourhood like Single Street, 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 picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Common questions in Single Street
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in Single Street has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cater across Greater London, including Single Street. Get in touch for a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Why choose a hog roast in Single Street?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which normally keeps the cost down. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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 happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Single Street 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Parking near the spot
As a London location, Single Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
