Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Event catering near Nine Elms
Nine Elms is about 1 mile south of Victoria, in Greater London. Nine Elms is well within our area for events. Nine Elms is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
An event in Pimlico Gardens means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, generally the council. If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as St Gabriel's CofE Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
Here we cover the SW1V, SW8 and SW11 postcode area. Streets in the area include Cupar Road, Ponton Road and Macduff Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. You’ll find Nine Elms on the A3212 and A3216, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring hog roasts to events in Pimlico (1 mile north-east), Victoria (1 mile north), South Lambeth (1 mile east), Chelsea (1 mile north-west) and Kennington (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (3 miles north-west), St Pancras (3 miles north), Shoreditch (4 miles north-east), Walthamstow (9 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles north-east) and Whitechapel (4 miles north-east).
A little further out are Westminster St Margaret and St John (1.3 miles north) and Harrods (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Battersea Park Lake and Campden Hill.
- Nearby schools include Pimlico Academy (0.5 miles north-east) and Sir Simon Milton Westminster UTC (0.5 miles north)
- Nearby, you will find The King William IV pub (less than half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include Lambeth Palace Library (1.6 miles north-east)
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
As a London location, Nine Elms 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 before booking.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Summer events in Nine Elms have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
