About hog roast hire in SW7
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in SW7, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wakes and corporate events.
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

Hog roast hire across SW7
From Kensington, Brompton and South Kensington to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across SW7 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Kensington: Within reach of Kensington are historic houses such as Leighton House (less than half a mile south) and Sambourne House (within half a mile east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. A green space like Holland Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Evenings in Kensington stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Common questions in SW7
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
