Party hog roast in Merton Park, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll check it with you. We’re often asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and big family get-togethers, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
In Merton Park, 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. A picture helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Merton Park questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Merton Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Morden Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. A summer party in Merton Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
