Hog roast hire across SE10
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and shows and club events and presentations.
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Cost
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Hog roast catering in SE10: local guide
SE10 covers everything from Greenwich, St Johns and Deptford to 2 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.
Greenwich: For anyone arriving by rail, Greenwich has its own station, Maze Hill station. PTAs at schools such as Meridian Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Around midsummer it stays light in Greenwich until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Parking near the spot
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
