Our hog roast service in Richmond
Richmond has the Thames at its feet and one of London's largest parks at its back. The town sits between the river, Richmond Hill with its famous protected view, the green and the vast deer park, with Kew, Petersham, Ham and East Sheen close by. Few places in London have this much space, and it shows in the size of the gardens.
That makes Richmond one of our favourite places to cater. Hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs cooked on site for garden parties, family celebrations, club events and summer gatherings — served from our own counter with all the trimmings.
We cater across Richmond 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 service page.
Where we cater in Richmond
Private parties dominate. Houses around Richmond Hill, Petersham, Ham, East Sheen and Kew often have large gardens with good access, which makes a full hog roast set-up easy. The riverside has rowing and sports clubs that host regatta parties and end-of-season dinners, and the rugby and cricket clubs are busy all summer.
Richmond Park and Bushy Park are Royal Parks with strict event rules, so catered gatherings there need permission and open cooking is heavily restricted. Parts of the town centre are controlled parking, and traffic across Richmond Bridge and through the one-way system can be slow on summer weekends.

BBQ catering in Richmond
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Richmond gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.

Events we cater in Richmond
Wedding hog roasts
Richmond weddings with a garden reception at a family home or a marquee on a large lawn are made for a hog roast. We can serve the main meal and evening rolls from the same roast, and pair it with a lamb roast for more variety.

Richmond's offices are smaller and more boutique than those in central London, but team events and client parties are a regular booking. A hog roast or BBQ on a terrace or club lawn makes a relaxed summer party.
Catering for company eventsBirthday & private parties
Milestone birthdays and summer garden parties in Richmond are a real highlight of our year. Big gardens, happy guests and a hog roast at the centre — it's what we do best.
Milestone birthday catering · Private party cateringWhat 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
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.
A whole lamb roastBBQ 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 Richmond 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
Most Richmond events have guests who don't eat pork, and many have vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. We cook meat-free dishes separately when asked, label every dish, and can build a pork-free menu around lamb or the BBQ. Our allergen information explains what we can and can't guarantee.

Hog roast FAQs for Richmond
Can we have a hog roast in Richmond Park?
Richmond Park is a Royal Park with strict rules on events and open cooking, so it's rarely possible without formal permission. A garden, club lawn or private land nearby is usually the better choice.
Do you cater at riverside clubs in Richmond?
Yes, where the club allows outside caterers. Riverside access can be limited, so tell us where we can park and how far the carry is to the serving area.
Can guests with dietary requirements be catered for?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan mains are cooked separately on request and labelled, and allergen information is available for every dish. See our allergen and dietary information.
