Party hog roast for Hackney Marshes
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
About our party hog roast in Hackney Marshes
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include christenings and close and cul-de-sac parties, with hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage.
Most parties in Hackney Marshes are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. Send us a photo. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

What else we do in Hackney Marshes
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Hackney Marshes until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Hackney Marshes: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hackney Marshes?
Lea Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
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 don’t offer halal meat.
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.
Can you cater in Hackney Marshes?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
