Hog roast hire for Canning Town
Hog roast hire in Canning Town, carved to order
In Canning Town, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it is club events and presentations and big birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Canning Town, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a photo helps us check. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Canning Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Canning Town. In Canning Town, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
