Hog roast hire in W1G: what to expect

There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in W1G, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and festive gatherings, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power.

  1. First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
  3. On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
  4. At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
  5. We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

What you will pay

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Why book with us

  • Cooked on the day, low and slow
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • An itemised quote

A hog roast across W1G: what to know

Across W1G, we cover 1 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Fitzrovia or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.

Fitzrovia: Thinking of a hog roast in St Anne's Churchyard? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. For a fundraiser at a school like All Souls CofE Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. In Fitzrovia, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

How we price a hog roast

Your quote depends on:

  • The journey to the venue
  • How many people are eating
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Details that help

When you enquire, please mention:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Any venue rules
  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • The date and time of the event

What we serve, dish by dish

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
