Slow-roasted pork in Pimlico
About our hog roast hire in Pimlico
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. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for work summer parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Gardens in Pimlico 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. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Pimlico 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.

Common questions in Pimlico
We are gathering after a service at St Gabriel's: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Pimlico?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: in Pimlico, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Perfect for your event in Pimlico
People remember a hog roast. The smell, the carving and the crackling make it more than just food.
People around Pimlico book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. Popular choices:
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
- Weddings and receptions
- Village fêtes and school fairs
If you had Pimlico Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

What else we do in Pimlico
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
