About hog roast hire in SE5
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. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and club events and presentations, with halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you will pay
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

East Dulwich: Thinking of a hog roast in Brunswick Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

SE5 questions
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
