Hog roast hire across W1H
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and sports clubs and societies.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- 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 clear up and go.
Pricing in W1H
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Hog roast hire across W1H
W1H covers everything from Paddington Green, Paddington and Connaught Village 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.
Hyde Park Estate: Churches such as Church of St John the Evangelist rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. Historic houses near Hyde Park Estate include Handel Hendrix House (1 mile east) and Apsley House (1 mile south-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. In Hyde Park Estate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice.
