Our hog roast hire in W2
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and gatherings after a funeral.
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you’ll pay
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
What your quote should include

- What the price includes, item by item
- VAT, if it applies
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
What affects the price in W2
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Questions from W2
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
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.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
