Common questions in Ham
What’s the nearest station to Ham?
Teddington station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.

We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much does a hog roast cost?

What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Typical bookings include staff days and open days and village fêtes and school fairs, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

What else we do in Ham
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Where the roaster can go in Ham
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Parking near the spot
As a London location, Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
