Hog roast hire in CR4: what to expect
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We’re often asked to cater clubhouse events and staff days and open days, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Cost
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Getting a price

What’s near Eastfields
Bookings here are often close to Figge's Marsh, Furzedown Secondary School and The White Lion of Mortimer pub. Also close by are St. Mark's Church (within half a mile south-west), St Mark's Church of England Academy (less than half a mile south-east) and Lonesome Primary School (within half a mile east). Eastfields has its own railway station: Mitcham Eastfields station. Well-known places in the area include Wandle Industrial Museum (0.7 miles south-west) and St Leonard's (1.7 miles north-east). Green spaces within easy reach include Henman Hill and Oakleigh Way.
Planning a hog roast in CR4
Across CR4, we cover 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in London, Streatham and Colliers Wood or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Eastfields: A green space like Figge's Marsh is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, there’s a station right in Eastfields: Mitcham Eastfields station. Late September evenings in Eastfields lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Whether VAT is included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Allergen information for every dish
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or CR4 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Questions from CR4
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
