About our party hog roast in South Hampstead
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for garden parties and family reunions.
Most parties in South Hampstead are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A picture helps. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in South Hampstead
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for

What else we do in South Hampstead
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Questions from South Hampstead
Could you cook in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Souls: 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.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Where the roaster can go in South Hampstead
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

As a London location, South Hampstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
