Hog roast hire for your event in South Bank
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for sports clubs and societies and community events.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in South Bank come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
South Bank is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For event organisers in South Bank
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

Bringing a hog roast to South Bank
South Bank is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. We’re happy to travel to South Bank for events. South Bank is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Oasis Academy Johanna, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. A green space like Jubilee Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Events anywhere in SE1, WC2E and WC2N start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. From York Road, Spur Road and Lower Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. Being close to the A301 and A302, South Bank is easy for us to reach with the roaster. Nearby, we also cater events in Waterloo (1 mile south-east), Adelphi (1 mile north-west), Charing Cross (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north-east) and Aldwych (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west), Stockwell (3 miles south) and Orpington (13 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Baynard's Castle (0.9 miles north-east) and Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women (within half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Barnsbury Wood and St. James's Park Lake.
- Local schools include London Nautical School (within half a mile north-east) and St Andrew's and St John's Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile east)

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Questions from South Bank
Could you cook in Jubilee Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to South Bank?
South Bank has its own station: London Waterloo station.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Late September evenings in South Bank lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
