About our hog roast hire in Willesden
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve hog roast rolls, new potatoes and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for weddings, day or evening and sports clubs and societies.
Gardens in Willesden tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Why choose a hog roast in Willesden?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or NW10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evenings in Willesden stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Common questions in Willesden
Could you cook in Roundwood Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you cover Willesden?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
