How our hog roast hire works in Lambeth
People book a hog roast in Lambeth for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for big birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs.
London gardens around Lambeth are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Lambeth 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’ll say what we think.

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. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Common questions in Lambeth
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lambeth?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What is hog roast hire?
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.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Lambeth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
