Hog roast hire for Chingford
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Hog roast hire for your event in Chingford
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Chingford: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Whether it’s staff days and open days and big birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook new potatoes, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers for your guests.
London gardens around Chingford are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What else we do in Chingford
How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Chingford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
