Hog roast hire across NW3
NW3 covers everything from Hampstead, West Hampstead and Kentish Town to 1 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.
Hampstead: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St John-at-Hampstead church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Coming by train? Finchley Road & Frognal station serves Hampstead directly. Around midsummer it stays light in Hampstead until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice.
Questions to ask before you book
- The full menu and the sides
- Whether travel is included
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Common questions in NW3
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
