Hog roast hire across E9
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We’re often asked to cater festive gatherings and corporate events, serving salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
When we arrive, 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, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

Hog roast hire across E9
From Homerton, Hackney and Cambridge Heath to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across E9 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Hackney: Churches such as Church of St Luke rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Thinking of a hog roast in Clapton Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. In Hackney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value.
What your quote should include
