Hog roast hire in Battersea, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and birthdays and anniversaries.
Gardens in Battersea tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Where the roaster can go in Battersea
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

As a London location, Battersea 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.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear

- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
