Hog roast hire for your event in West Barnes
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and receptions, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
London gardens around West Barnes are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around West Barnes, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

FAQs for West Barnes
What’s the nearest station to West Barnes?
West Barnes has its own station: Motspur Park station.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Cross?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cover West Barnes?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including West Barnes and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
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 do not offer halal meat.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
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 bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
- 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
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
