What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In The Hyde, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Questions from The Hyde
Can you cater after a service at St Matthias the Apostle church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to The Hyde?
Hendon station, in The Hyde itself.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, The Hyde is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
