Party hog roast near Gipsy Hill
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and anniversary parties, with apple sauce, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Most parties in Gipsy Hill are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

- A spot well away from the house
- A step-free way into the garden

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Gipsy Hill hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
