About hog roast hire in W1S
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in W1S: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We serve coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for wakes and staff days and open days.
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Cost
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Planning a hog roast in W1S
From Charing Cross to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W1S range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Charing Cross: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Soho Parish CofE Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Parks such as Victoria Embankment Gardens typically need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Planning an evening hog roast in Charing Cross? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.
What your quote should include
- Travel and any London charges
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Who carves and who serves
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
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.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
