Our hog roast hire in UB7
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for christmas parties and weddings, day or evening.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.

- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Hog roast catering in UB7: local guide
Across UB7, we cover 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in West Drayton, Yiewsley and Cowley or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
West Drayton: PTAs at schools such as West Drayton Academy frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Ickenham Hall (4.2 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in West Drayton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any travel or access charges
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
