How hog roast hire works in NW7
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for community events and wakes and memorial gatherings.
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Pricing in NW7
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

A hog roast across NW7: what to know
Across NW7, we cover 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Burnt Oak, Edgware and Church End to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Mill Hill: A green space like Bittacy Hill Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, Mill Hill Broadway station, about 1 mile south-west, is the nearest station. Late September evenings in Mill Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two.
What your quote should include

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

NW7 questions
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
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.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
