How our hog roast hire works in Temple
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are often booked for sports clubs and societies and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Temple come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast in Temple
Can you do a hog roast in Garden Bridge?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Temple?
Temple has its own station: London Blackfriars station.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
A hog roast in Temple: local details
Temple is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London. We cater events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Temple and the surrounding area. We cater 764 places in Greater London.
After a service at Temple Church or St Mary-at-Hill, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. PTAs at schools such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
This part of Greater London takes in SE1, WC2H and WC2B. That could mean an event in a garden on Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Temple is on the A4 and A40, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Temple Bar (1 mile north), Blackfriars (1 mile east), Aldwych (1 mile west), Clare Market (1 mile north-west) and Covent Garden (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Liberty of the Savoy (under half a mile west) and Twinings Museum (within half a mile north-west). Within reach you’ll find Barnsbury Wood and St. James's Park Lake.
- Nearby schools include London Nautical School (within half a mile south) and Mercers' School (under half a mile north)
- Pubs nearby include The Devereux pub (within half a mile north-west)
- Other local spots include British Library of Political and Economic Science (within half a mile north-west)
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Temple is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Temple
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Temple?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
