Our hog roast hire in W1F
People book a hog roast in W1F for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We serve coleslaw, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and parties at home.
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Hog roast hire across W1F
W1F covers everything from Soho, Chinatown and West End to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Soho: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Soho Parish CofE Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to Soho are Benjamin Franklin House (0.5 miles south-east) and Burlington House (0.5 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Planning an evening hog roast in Soho? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Is a hog roast right for you?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it.
What your quote should include
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- The full menu and the sides
- VAT, if it applies
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Questions from W1F
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover Greater London and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
