Our hog roast service in Clapham
Clapham revolves around its common — a huge open space where sports teams train, festivals come and go, and on a sunny weekend it seems half of south London is out on the grass. Around it are Clapham Old Town, the streets of Victorian terraces between the common and the high street, and a population of young professionals and families.
Our Clapham bookings are mostly private parties and small corporate events. We cook hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs on site, carve to order and serve with salads, breads and sauces from our own counter.
We cater across Clapham as part of our hog roast catering in London and the wider South London area. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Clapham
Clapham gardens are typically long and narrow, with access through the house. We plan carefully around steps and doorways and keep the set-up compact. Parking is controlled almost everywhere, so a visitor permit or suspension helps a great deal.
The common is managed by the council, and catered events on it need permission — barbecues are often restricted. Sports clubs, school fairs and residents' events keep the summer busy, and small firms around Clapham use us for team parties.
- long terraced-house gardens
- shared gardens and courtyards in flat conversions
- school fairs and church halls
- sports clubs and five-a-side teams
- small office terraces
BBQ catering in Clapham
Our BBQ catering in Clapham runs on the same principle as the hog roast — cooked fresh in front of your guests, with none of the work landing on the host. Expect burgers, sausages, chicken and proper veggie options, plus salads, fries and every sauce you'd want.
In Clapham's smaller gardens and shared spaces, a BBQ is often the most practical option — compact, quick and full of choice.

Small and growing firms around Clapham and Battersea use us for team barbecues and summer parties, often in a courtyard, a car park or a sports club they already use. A compact BBQ is usually the best fit, with a carved pork service for bigger evening events.
Catering for company eventsBirthday & private parties
Birthdays, housewarmings and summer parties are the core of our Clapham work, often for guests who have come from all over London. Many hosts live in flat conversions with a shared garden, so it's worth checking with neighbours or the freeholder before the day. We'll size the set-up to the space.
Birthday party catering · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
Hog roast menuLamb roast
Lamb works as the only roast or alongside pork. We carve it at the counter and serve it with mint sauce, herby salads and breads — a popular choice for summer weddings.
Spit-roast lambBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.

Hog roast FAQs for Clapham
Can we have a BBQ on Clapham Common?
Catered events on the common need permission from the council, and barbecues are often restricted. A private garden or club ground is usually easier.
Our Clapham garden is only reachable through the house. Is that okay?
Yes. We can carry equipment through with care, protecting floors along the way, or set up at the front if needed.
Do you only do hog roasts, or can we have a BBQ in Clapham?
Both, and lamb too. Plenty of Clapham events have a BBQ on its own or alongside the hog roast. Have a look at the BBQ menu for ideas.
