Hog roast hire for West End
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
How our hog roast hire works in West End
In West End, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater corporate events and christmas parties.
In a London neighbourhood like West End, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
