How our hog roast hire works in The Wrythe
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and new potatoes.
London gardens around The Wrythe are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Permission from the venue or landowner
As a London location, The Wrythe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Your questions about a hog roast in The Wrythe
Can you do a hog roast in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in The Wrythe?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Who books hog roast hire in The Wrythe?
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
In The Wrythe and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Corporate events
- Milestone birthdays
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
- Club events and presentations
A green space like Carshalton Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a 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.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
