Party hog roast near Pimlico
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it’s engagement celebrations and wedding anniversaries, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce.
Most parties in Pimlico 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. Send us a picture. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A spot well away from the house
Pimlico is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What affects the price in Pimlico
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- We bring everything to cook and serve

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an evening party in Pimlico, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
