About hog roast hire in E17
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include salads, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for club events and presentations and village fêtes and school fairs.
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Why a hog roast works
For big gatherings in E17, a hog roast is hard to beat: one roast feeds a crowd, and the carving is part of the event.
These are some of the most popular hog roast bookings near E17:
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Club events and presentations
- Staff days and open days
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
