Hog roast for events in Pimlico, carved to order
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Pimlico attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. We’re frequently asked to cater car and steam shows and PTA summer fairs, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Events in Pimlico range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
Pimlico questions
Can you come to a school fair in Pimlico?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Pimlico?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A firm way on and off the field
- Event approval for hot-food traders
As a London location, Pimlico 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.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Pimlico are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
