About our party hog roast in Lambeth
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. For garden parties and milestone birthdays, we can cook apple sauce, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Most parties in Lambeth 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. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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 roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Lambeth stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Lambeth: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Lambeth?
Lambeth has its own station: Vauxhall station.
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
