Party hog roast in The Hyde, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. Typical bookings include big family get-togethers and leaving and retirement do’s, serving rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and apple sauce.
Most parties in The Hyde 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. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.

The Hyde questions
What if our house in The Hyde has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We are gathering after a service at St Matthias the Apostle 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in The Hyde need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Where the roaster can go in The Hyde

- A spot well away from the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
As a London location, The Hyde 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.

Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Allergen information for every dish
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The menu, including sides and any extras
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
