Hog roast hire across E14
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We’re often asked to cater summer garden parties and work summer parties, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Hog roast catering in E14: local guide
E14 covers everything from London, Mile End and Bow Common to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Bow Common: Nearby historic houses include Sutton House (2.4 miles north-west) and Queen's House (2.7 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Paul's Way Trust School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. By late September, sunset in Bow Common is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
