Which station is closest to Richmond upon Thames?
Richmond upon Thames has its own station: Richmond station.
Can you do a hog roast in Pesthouse Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater in Richmond upon Thames?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
A hog roast or other catering?
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close by
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
Richmond upon Thames is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
