How our party hog roast works in Richmond upon Thames
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw, and we are often booked for wedding anniversaries and engagement celebrations.
Planning a London party in Richmond upon Thames? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

FAQs for Richmond upon Thames
What’s the nearest station to Richmond upon Thames?
Richmond upon Thames has its own station: Richmond station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Richmond upon Thames?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Think about children’s portions
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
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.
