London gardens around Richmond upon Thames are frequently small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows.

What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, Richmond upon Thames is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to 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. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Read how we price and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
