Our hog roast hire in W1K
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for wakes and christmas fairs.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
What you will pay
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Hog roast hire across W1K
From Marylebone, Mayfair and Burlington Estate to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W1K range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Mayfair: Parks such as Green Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like LITE Regal International School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. In Mayfair, 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.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Why a hog roast works
People remember a hog roast. The smell, the carving and the crackling make it more than just food.
Hosts in W1K book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
- Weddings, day or evening
- Sports clubs and societies
- Garden parties and barbecues
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

Your questions about a hog roast in W1K
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
