About hog roast hire in IG9

Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for clubhouse events and milestone birthdays.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day.

  1. You share the when, where and how many.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve.
  5. We pack away and leave you to it.

What you’ll pay

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What you get with us

  • Choices for people who do not eat pork
  • The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planning a hog roast in IG9

From Woodford, Woodford Wells and Monkhams to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across IG9 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Woodford: If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Highams Park station, roughly 1.3 miles west of the centre. Churches such as St Barnabas' Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. Evenings in Woodford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Looking after everyone

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Add a dietary question to your invitations
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
