Planning a party in Petersham
Petersham is about 1 mile south of Richmond, in Greater London. We cater parties at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Petersham. Petersham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Petersham to London (about 10 miles away).
A green space like Marble Hill Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Petersham can be an alternative, as long as there’s outdoor space for the roaster.
Wherever your party is in TW10 and TW1, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Sandy Lane, River Lane and Arosa Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Other places close to Petersham we cover include Richmond (1 mile north), Ham (1 mile south), Eel Pie Island (1 mile west), St Margarets (1 mile north-west) and Strawberry Hill (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles east), City of Westminster (8 miles north-east), Marylebone (8 miles north-east), Kensington (6 miles north-east), St Pancras (10 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (11 miles north-east).

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Petersham 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 a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Think about shelter for your guests

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Petersham
What if our house in Petersham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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 be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Which meats and sides you’d like

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
