How hog roast hire works in SW17

It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook.

First, tell us about your event.
We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast catering in SW17: local guide

From Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and Tooting to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across SW17 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.

Colliers Wood: For a fundraiser at a school like Sellincourt Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Churches such as St Nicholas rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Colliers Wood, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Put the menu on the invitation

If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Planners, venues and businesses

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What a hog roast costs

Your quote depends on:

Access to the cooking area
The journey to the venue
Plates or china
Season and day of the week

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
