Hog roast hire in St George in the East, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Whether it’s gatherings after a funeral and village fêtes and school fairs, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
In a London neighbourhood like St George in the East, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a photo. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Churches such as St Peter's rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (1.2 miles west) and Dr Johnson's House (2 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What a hog roast costs
