About our hog roast hire in Vauxhall

Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are often booked for staff days and open days and village fêtes and school fairs.

Gardens in Vauxhall tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Should I cook it myself?

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.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Prices and what affects them

Each price is built from:

  • How long the roast and service take
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Numbers
  • Whether you want china

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Details that help

For a quick, accurate price, send us:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the event is
  • Your menu choices
  • An estimate of numbers

For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

Perfect for your event in Vauxhall

A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.

Whatever the occasion in Vauxhall, a slow roast goes a long way. We are often asked to cater:

  • Weddings and receptions
  • Corporate events
  • Parties at home
  • Milestone birthdays

For anyone arriving by rail, Vauxhall station is in Vauxhall itself.

Working with your venue

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

Bringing a hog roast to Vauxhall

Vauxhall is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. We cater events of every size in Vauxhall. Vauxhall is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.

Historic houses near Vauxhall include Benjamin Franklin House (1.2 miles north) and Buckingham Palace (1.2 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. A green space like Old Paradise Gardens is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.

We cater events across the SE11, SW1P and SW8 postcode area. That could mean an event in a garden on Gibson Road, Langley Lane and Randall Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Vauxhall is on the A3203 and A3204, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Close by, we cover events in Lambeth (1 mile north), Kennington (1 mile south), Oval (1 mile south), Newington Butts (1 mile east) and St George's Fields (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (4 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles north-east) and Hampstead (5 miles north-west).

Well-known places in the area include Baynard's Castle (1.7 miles north-east) and Newport Street Gallery (under half a mile north-east). The countryside around Vauxhall includes Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.

  • Schools near Vauxhall include Lambeth School of Art (less than half a mile south) and Lilian Baylis Technology School (under half a mile south)
  • Local pubs include The Jolly Gardeners pub (within half a mile north-east)
  • Local facilities include Lambeth Palace Library (0.5 miles north) and City and Liberty of Westminster (0.7 miles north-west)

What happens on the day

The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Light matters for a long roast: around Vauxhall, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve.
  5. We pack away and leave you to it.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Think about shelter for your guests
