Hog roast hire in Mortlake, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re often asked to cater summer garden parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Mortlake come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

Common questions in Mortlake
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' 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’s the nearest station to Mortlake?
Mortlake station, in Mortlake itself.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Mortlake lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.

- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive

- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Mortlake hosts choose us
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Where the roaster can go in Mortlake
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
As a London location, Mortlake is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
