Hog roast hire in St Pancras, slow-roasted on site
In St Pancras, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and barbecues, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
London gardens around St Pancras are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Common questions in St Pancras
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Pancras?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at Lumen United Reformed Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
