How our hog roast hire works in Waddon
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. Whether it’s garden parties and barbecues and village fêtes and school fairs, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Waddon, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Waddon 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Waddon: your questions answered
What if our house in Waddon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
