How our hog roast hire works in Stamford Hill
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Stamford Hill: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for clubhouse events and wakes and memorial gatherings.
London gardens around Stamford Hill are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Common questions in Stamford Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Abney Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about coeliacs?

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
