DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Clapham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Common questions in Clapham
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Clapham?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

All of Greater London is in our area. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Do we need our own staff?

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Parking near the spot
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Clapham 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
