Hog roast hire for Southall
About our hog roast hire in Southall
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Southall: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it’s summer garden parties and community events, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads.
Around Southall, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. 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 picture. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. By late September, sunset in Southall is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price

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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Questions from Southall
Can you cater after a service at Saint John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Minet Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Who books hog roast hire in Southall?
