Hog roast hire across NW8
In NW8, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and summer garden parties.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you will pay
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Hog roast catering in NW8: local guide
There are 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in NW8, so whether your event is in City of Westminster, Paddington Green and Lisson Grove or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Lisson Grove: Parks such as Regent's Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Churches such as St Paul's Community Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. In Lisson Grove, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
