About our hog roast hire in Widmore
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Widmore, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and coleslaw for your guests.
London gardens around Widmore are frequently 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. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Widmore, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time

Your questions about a hog roast in Widmore
What if our house in Widmore has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Widmore?
Widmore has its own station: Bickley station.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
