Hog roast hire across EC1P
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in EC1P, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve crackling, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for community events and clubhouse events.
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Prices in EC1P
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
