How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around South Wimbledon, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

FAQs for South Wimbledon
What if our house in South Wimbledon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater in South Wimbledon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including South Wimbledon and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
