What affects the price in Morden
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Hog roast hire for your event in Morden
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and milestone birthdays.
Around Morden, 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 is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and a photo helps us check. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Morden, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Hog roast hire around Morden

Thinking of a hog roast in Cannon Hill Common? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Historic houses near Morden include Southside House (1.9 miles north-west) and Nonsuch Mansion (2.5 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.
For events in SM4, SM3 and SW20, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean an event in a garden on London Road, Epsom Road and Holne Chase, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. With the B279 close by, Morden is easy for us to reach with the roaster.

Common questions in Morden
Could you cook in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Lawrence 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What comes with the hog roast?
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 do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
As a London location, Morden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
