Hog roast hire in St Giles
About our hog roast hire in St Giles
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and corporate events.
In a London neighbourhood like St Giles, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Questions from St Giles
Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Soho Baptist Chapel?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you cater in St Giles?
Yes, St Giles is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Why choose a hog roast in St Giles?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Light matters for a long roast: around St Giles, 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.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
As a London location, St Giles is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise.
