Hog roast hire across WC2H

In WC2H, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and parties at home, serving crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.

Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day.

  1. First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
  4. We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
  5. We clear the serving area and pack away.

Planning a hog roast in WC2H

From Aldwych, Adelphi and Temple to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across WC2H range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Clare Market: After a service at Enon Chapel, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For anyone arriving by rail, London Charing Cross station, about 0.6 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Light matters for a long roast: around Clare Market, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option

Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.

We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Before you choose a spot

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

  • Vehicle access close to the cooking area
  • A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
  • A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
