About our hog roast hire in Old Malden
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a smaller place like Old Malden, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Old Malden
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
