A hog roast near South Lambeth
Party hog roast near South Lambeth
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include crackling, apple sauce and jacket potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and big family get-togethers.
Most parties in South Lambeth 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. A photo helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in South Lambeth
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
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, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in South Lambeth is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

What to look for in a quote
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Any travel or access charges
- The menu, including sides and any extras
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A word with the neighbours
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
South Lambeth 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.
What we serve
- Jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Questions from South Lambeth
We are gathering after a service at St Stephen's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to South Lambeth?
Vauxhall station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Where does the hog roast go?
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?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
