DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Where the roaster can go in Merton
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- A named contact for the day
As a London location, Merton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll cater for all.

How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Step by step

After-work summer events in Merton have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
