Our hog roast service in Putney
Putney is a riverside neighbourhood with rowing in its blood. The Embankment is lined with boathouses, the Boat Race starts just upstream of Putney Bridge, and on summer weekends the river is busy with crews. Behind the river, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks climb towards Putney Heath and Roehampton.
We cater hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs for rowing clubs, family parties and local businesses across Putney. Everything is cooked on site and carved to order, with salads, breads and sauces served from our counter.
We cater across Putney as part of our hog roast catering in London and the wider South West London area. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering page.
Where we cater in Putney
Rowing clubs host regatta parties, end-of-season dinners and fundraisers, and a hog roast or BBQ is a natural fit — though access on the Embankment is limited and tide times can matter. Residential Putney has a mix of terraces with narrow gardens and larger houses towards the Heath with more space.
Parking is controlled throughout, so visitor permits or a parking suspension help. Putney High Street and the bridge are congested at peak times, and we plan arrival times accordingly. Events on Putney Heath need permission from the conservators.

BBQ catering in Putney
For events in Putney with a mixed crowd or a tight serving window, we often suggest a BBQ, either on its own or running alongside the hog roast. Two serving points shorten the queue and give everyone more to choose from.
Rowing clubs in Putney often choose a BBQ for regatta days — fast service, plenty of choice and easy to run between races.

Putney weddings often include a riverside or garden reception, and a hog roast suits the relaxed style. Evening pork rolls after a day on the river are always welcome.
Catering for weddingsCorporate events
Offices around the high street and the university campus in Roehampton use us for summer parties, team lunches and end-of-term gatherings. A compact BBQ on a terrace or car park is quick and easy, and a hog roast suits a bigger evening event.
Corporate BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
Birthdays, christenings and summer drinks in Putney gardens are regular bookings. Down by the river, gardens behind the terraces are narrow and usually reached through the house; up towards the Heath there's more room, and a full hog roast machine fits comfortably on a lawn or drive.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Our pork is slow-roasted whole on site and hand-carved at the counter as guests come up. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are the favourite; a plated buffet works well when it's the main meal.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ options
Burgers, sausages and chicken for the meat-eaters, with halloumi, vegetable skewers and plant-based options cooked separately for everyone else.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Putney events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.

Hog roast FAQs for Putney
Can you cater at a rowing club on the Putney Embankment?
Yes, where the club allows outside caterers. Access is tight and parking limited, so we'll plan the carry and timing with you — and check tides if the Embankment tends to flood.
Do you cover Roehampton and Putney Heath?
Yes — Putney, Roehampton, East Putney and Southfields. Events on the Heath need permission from the conservators.
How much does a hog roast in Putney cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
