Hog roast hire across N16
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and gatherings after a funeral.
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Hog roast hire across N16
From Highbury, West Hackney and Mildmay to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across N16 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
West Hackney: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Benthal Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Churches such as St Michael and All Angels rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. Light matters for a long roast: in West Hackney, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
What affects the price in N16
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- Numbers
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice.
