Hog roast hire in E3: what to expect
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include festive gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

Hog roast catering in E3: local guide
From Stratford, Hackney and Bethnal Green to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across E3 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Mile End: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Beatrice Tate School, can book a hog roast stall. By late September, sunset in Mile End is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Common questions in E3
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
