About our hog roast hire in Temple Bar
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Temple Bar, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is christmas parties and parties at home, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
London gardens around Temple Bar are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

What else we do in Temple Bar
Temple Bar: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Temple Bar?
Temple Bar has its own station: City Thameslink station.
Could you cook in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover Greater London and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Why choose a hog roast in Temple Bar?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Temple Bar hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
