Party hog roast in Thames View Estate

Party hog roast near Thames View Estate

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’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For christenings and naming days and engagement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw and more.

Throwing a party in Thames View Estate? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

  • Collect dietary needs when guests reply
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Let us know roughly how many children
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

How it works

The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening parties in Thames View Estate need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

  1. Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Getting a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

What affects the price in Thames View Estate

Your quote depends on:

  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Numbers

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. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What we need to know

Here’s what we’ll ask:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • What the outdoor space is like
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • The address or postcode

Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Why book with us

  • We bring everything to cook and serve
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Our staff serve and clear
  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

See how we price or the cost guide.

Working with your venue

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Space, access and the venue

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:

  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • A wet-weather plan for guests
  • A level patio, lawn or driveway

As a London location, Thames View Estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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.

Catered or do it yourself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Common questions in Thames View Estate

Can you do a hog roast in Mayesbrook Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

What if our house in Thames View Estate has no side access?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Is crockery included?

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Can you cater for vegetarians?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Is mains power needed?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
