Hog roast hire in SW18: what to expect
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and we’re often booked for weddings, day or evening and christmas fairs.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

Hog roast hire across SW18
Across SW18, we cover 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Battersea or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Wandsworth: Among the historic houses close to Wandsworth are Fulham Palace (1.5 miles north-west) and Carlyle's House (2.2 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. After a service at St Anne's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Evenings in Wandsworth stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

Is crackling included?
