Hog roast hire across N20
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is 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 rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and corporate events.
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Pricing in N20
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day

Oakleigh Park: Coming by train? Oakleigh Park station, about 0.8 miles north, is the nearest station. Parks such as Swan Lane Open Space usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Evenings in Oakleigh Park 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.
Why a hog roast works
It is generous, hearty food that most people love, and there are alternatives for everyone else.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near N20, such as:
- Summer garden parties
- Work summer parties
- Club events and presentations
- Birthdays and anniversaries
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
