Hog roast hire for your event in Upper Ruxley
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include new potatoes, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and summer garden parties.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Upper Ruxley come in all shapes. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
As a London location, Upper Ruxley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
FAQs for Upper Ruxley
Can you cater after a service at St Botolph's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about guests who don’t 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.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Upper Ruxley, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
