Slow-roasted pork in North Sheen
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Evenings in North Sheen stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day

Hog roast hire for your event in North Sheen
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it’s birthdays and anniversaries and sports clubs and societies, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
Gardens in North Sheen tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

North Sheen: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to North Sheen?
Kew Gardens station, in North Sheen itself.
We’re gathering after a service at The Barn 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.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
North Sheen 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
