About hog roast hire in E2
People book a hog roast in E2 for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for club events and presentations and garden parties and barbecues.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.

Bethnal Green has its own railway station: Cambridge Heath station, handy for guests travelling by train.

Planning a hog roast in E2
Across E2, we cover 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Bethnal Green or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Bethnal Green: Historic houses near Bethnal Green include Sutton House (1.4 miles north) and Mansion House (1.6 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Churches such as St Peter's rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Around midsummer it stays light in Bethnal Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice.
Comparing caterers
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- Plates, china and cutlery
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Questions from E2
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
