How our party hog roast works in Barnes
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. For engagement celebrations and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes and more.
In Barnes, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Parks such as Barn Elms usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Historic houses near Barnes include Chiswick House (0.9 miles north-west) and Emery Walker's House (1.1 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
For parties in SW13, SW15 and SW14, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean a party in a garden on Church Road, Station Road and Barnes High Street or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Being close to the A306 and B349, Barnes is easy for us to reach.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Sunset in Barnes is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
As a London location, Barnes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why Barnes hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Questions from Barnes
What if our house in Barnes has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Barn Elms?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
