Slow-roasted pork in Merton
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Merton until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day

About our party hog roast in Merton
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We serve jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for garden parties and anniversary parties.
In Merton, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Merton questions
What if our house in Merton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What’s the nearest station to Merton?
Haydons Road station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
As a London location, Merton 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
