Hog roast hire for Kew
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Hog roast hire for your event in Kew
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include festive gatherings and milestone birthdays, with rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls.
Around Kew, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a picture. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Kew
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Church: can you cater?
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.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kew?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Events we cater in Kew
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Kew, such as:
- Sports clubs and societies
- Christmas fairs
- Weddings, day or evening
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
After a service at St Paul's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house.
Before you book anyone
- How many staff will carve and serve
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Whether plates or china are included
- Allergen information for every dish
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Kew until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs 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.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
How to get a price
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Planning a hog roast in Kew
Kew is about 2 miles south of Acton, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in Kew, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Kew is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Kew to London (about 8 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Kew are Kew Palace (0.7 miles west) and Chiswick House (0.8 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Chiswick station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
Here we cover the W4, TW9 and TW8 postcode area. Streets in the area include Kew Road, Maze Road and Kent Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the A3000, Kew is easy for us to reach with the roaster.

- Local pubs include Bull's Head pub (within half a mile north)
- Local facilities include Library for Iranian Studies (1.6 miles north)
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Kew is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
