Hog roast hire in Mitcham, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for parties at home and milestone birthdays.
Gardens in Mitcham tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

A hog roast in Mitcham: local details
Mitcham is about 2 miles west of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Mitcham. Mitcham is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Southside House (3.6 miles west) and Kingswood House (3.6 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Churches such as St. Mark's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does.
Wherever your event is in CR4, SW16 and SM4, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Kings Road, Baker Lane and Manor Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Mitcham, we cover Hackbridge (1 mile north), Eastfields (1 mile north), Colliers Wood (1 mile north-west), Merton Abbey (2 miles north-west) and Furzedown (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as London (7 miles north), City of Westminster (8 miles north), Marylebone (8 miles north), Kensington (7 miles north), St Pancras (9 miles north) and Shoreditch (9 miles north).

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
As a London location, Mitcham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
FAQs for Mitcham
Could you cook in Cranmer Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mark's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cater across Greater London, including Mitcham. Get in touch for a price.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Mitcham
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Mitcham
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset in Mitcham is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- 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.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
How to get a price
