Spit-roast lamb

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In West Hampstead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

West Hampstead: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Presbyterian Church Of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in West Hampstead 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.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cater in West Hampstead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including West Hampstead and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
As a London location, West Hampstead 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.
