Hog roast hire in EC1M: what to expect
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We’re frequently asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

A hog roast across EC1M: what to know
EC1M covers everything from Blackfriars to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Blackfriars: Coming by train? Blackfriars has its own station, London Blackfriars station. Churches such as St Ann Blackfriars rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Blackfriars, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
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.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
