About our hog roast hire in Victoria
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and clubhouse events.
London gardens around Victoria are often small and close to neighbours, 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. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
As a London location, Victoria 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often 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.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Victoria, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

Victoria questions
We are gathering after a service at St. Michael's Church: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
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 do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
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.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- All the equipment comes with us

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
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.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
