How to compare hog roast caterers

Hog roast hire in Hayes, slow-roasted on site

The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For wakes and memorial gatherings and village fêtes and school fairs, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.

Around Hayes, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Crackling

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Why Hayes hosts choose us

  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • No surprises: everything in writing

Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.

What a hog roast costs

Each price is built from:

  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Whether you want china
  • Time on site
  • The journey to the venue

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Details that help

Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

  • Rough numbers
  • The date and time of the event
  • A picture of the cooking area
  • The venue or postcode

Send us the date, the address or UB3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in Hayes

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Looking after everyone

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
  • Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option

Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Step by step

Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Hayes, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
