How hog roast hire works in SE11
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in SE11, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve coleslaw, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for staff days and open days and weddings and receptions.
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a 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.
What it costs in SE11
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast across SE11: what to know
There are 5 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in SE11, so whether your event is in Kennington, Elephant and Castle and Southwark or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Vauxhall: If you had Old Paradise Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Peter's Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Vauxhall, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking near the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
SE11: your questions answered
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in SE11?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including SE11 and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
