Planning an event in Sutton?
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Hog roast hire for your event in Sutton
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas parties, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
London gardens around Sutton are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Sutton is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Sutton 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Sutton
Can you cater after a service at St Nicholas Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
