Lots of different events suit a hog roast in N19. Typical bookings include:
- Wakes
- Christmas fairs
- Corporate events
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Parking near the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Common questions in N19
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
