About hog roast hire in N1
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. We are frequently asked to cater parties at home and weddings, day or evening, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

Hog roast hire across N1
N1 covers everything from St Pancras, Shoreditch and Hoxton to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Hoxton: For guests coming by train, Hoxton station is in Hoxton itself. Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (1.4 miles south) and Dr Johnson's House (1.6 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Planning an evening hog roast in Hoxton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
N1: your questions answered
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
