Hog roast hire in Upper Edmonton
Hog roast hire in Upper Edmonton, carved to order
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and weddings and receptions.
In a London neighbourhood like Upper Edmonton, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a photo helps us check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evenings in Upper Edmonton stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Your questions about a hog roast in Upper Edmonton
Which station is closest to Upper Edmonton?
Silver Street station, in Upper Edmonton itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Pymmes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Parking near the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Upper Edmonton 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.
