On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and birthdays and anniversaries.
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.

- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

Hog roast hire across EC1V
There are 10 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in EC1V, so the setting can be anything from Hoxton, Farringdon and Smithfield to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Farringdon: Churches such as St John Clerkenwell rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. PTAs at schools such as Charterhouse Square School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. By late September, sunset in Farringdon is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
