Hog roast hire across EC2Y
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for work summer parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you will pay
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Questions to ask before booking
- What crockery is supplied
- Who carves and who serves
- What the price includes, item by item
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
For event organisers in EC2Y
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast in EC2Y
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you travel across City of London?
We cover City of London and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
