Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Hog roast hire in Toy's Hill, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Toy's Hill: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and garden parties and barbecues.
Gardens in Toy's Hill tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Parking near the spot
Toy's Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll advise.

Questions from Toy's Hill
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Toy's Hill has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Why choose hog roast hire in Toy's Hill?

In Toy's Hill and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Festive gatherings

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
