Hog roast hire across WC2B
From Temple, Clare Market and Temple Bar to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across WC2B 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.
Temple Bar: A green space like Lincoln's Inn Fields is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. For guests coming by train, there is a station right in Temple Bar: City Thameslink station. Around midsummer it stays light in Temple Bar until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put the menu on the invitation
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
