Hog roast hire in Thames View Estate, carved to order
In Thames View Estate, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater wakes and community events, with crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
London gardens around Thames View Estate are frequently small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Thames View Estate, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Where the roaster can go in Thames View Estate
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Access for our equipment, without steps
As a London location, Thames View Estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a hog roast in Thames View Estate
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Thames View Estate?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Is all of Greater London covered?

Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Thames View Estate?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
