Our hog roast hire in SE2
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We serve spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days.
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast hire across SE2
Across SE2, we cover 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Thamesmead, East Wickham and Abbey Wood or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Abbey Wood: Historic houses near Abbey Wood include Danson House (2.1 miles south) and Red House (2.3 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. PTAs at schools such as Alexander McLeod Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Late September evenings in Abbey Wood lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
SE2: your questions answered
Is crackling included?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
