About our hog roast hire in South Lambeth
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and milestone birthdays.
In a London neighbourhood like South Lambeth, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our prices page or the cost guide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
