Book a hog roast in E10

Hog roast hire across E10

Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and corporate events, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.

Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

  1. You share the when, where and how many.
  2. We check the space and quote.
  3. We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
  4. The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
  5. We clear up and go.

Pricing in E10

For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Why book our hog roast

Hog roast hire across E10

E10 covers everything from Walthamstow, Leyton and Bakers Arms to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Leyton: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Christian Hope Ministries International, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. PTAs at schools such as Dawlish Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Leyton, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

For planners, venues and organisers

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

What happens when we hire a hog roast?

We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

How long does the roast need?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Do we need our own staff?

You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Do you bring plates?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Can you roast in the rain?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Do we need to provide electricity?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
