Hog roast hire for Slade Green
Hog roast hire for your event in Slade Green
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We are frequently asked to cater staff days and open days and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and salads.
Around Slade Green, 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 picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Slade Green 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.

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
