About hog roast hire in W13
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and corporate events, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear 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.

A hog roast across W13: what to know
W13 covers everything from Ealing, Northfields and South Ealing to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Ealing: If you had Walpole Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Within reach of Ealing are historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor (less than half a mile east) and Gunnersbury Park (1.1 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Light matters for a long roast: around Ealing, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Whether plates or china are included
- Any travel or access charges
- The full menu and the sides
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Questions from W13
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens in bad weather?
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.
