Hog roast hire in South Harrow, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and garden parties and barbecues, with hog roast rolls, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a London neighbourhood like South Harrow, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

FAQs for South Harrow
What’s the nearest station to South Harrow?
The closest is Northolt Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Northwick Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is all of Greater London covered?
We cater across Greater London, including South Harrow. Get in touch for a price.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, South Harrow 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
