How our hog roast hire works in Putney Vale
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Putney Vale, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s wakes and memorial gatherings and clubhouse events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
Gardens in Putney Vale tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Putney Vale, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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 arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Why choose a hog roast in Putney Vale?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
