About our hog roast hire in Clapham
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it is staff days and open days and sports clubs and societies, we can cook new potatoes, crackling and salads and more.
Somewhere like Clapham, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late September evenings in Clapham lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
