How our hog roast hire works in Stanmore
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Stanmore. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We are frequently asked to cater clubhouse events and christmas fairs, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Gardens in Stanmore tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or HA7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
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.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Stanmore 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
