Hog roast hire across TW1
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for festive gatherings and village fêtes and school fairs.
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Cost
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

A hog roast across TW1: what to know
From Twickenham, Richmond and Richmond upon Thames to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across TW1 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Twickenham: Nearby historic houses include Richmond House (0.5 miles east) and Strawberry Hill House (0.7 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Twickenham station, roughly 0.5 miles north-east of the centre. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Twickenham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
