How hog roast hire works in SE26
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in SE26: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthdays.
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Stuffing and apple sauce
