What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
As a London location, Harlington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

What else we do in Harlington
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For an evening party in Harlington, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
