Hog roast hire in EC4V: what to expect
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for clubhouse events and christmas parties.
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.

- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice.

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
