Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Holborn is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Holborn: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Alban's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Holborn?
Holborn has its own station: Farringdon station.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Holborn, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
