Hog Roast Balham often caters weddings and corporate events but we also cover a whole lot more too, like birthday parties, anniversaries, engagements, retirements, christenings – you name it, we can cater it! When it comes to hog roasts, we’re the best choice you can make for you and your guests, as we’ve spent many years learning how to make them the best they can be. The art of the hog roast is in slowly cooking a fresh, local pig for several hours, until you get plenty of crispy crackling on the outside and the inside turns into moist, tender slivers of meat that just fall off the bone and melt in your mouth. Plus when Hog Roast Balham cooks for your special occasion, we do it in style, each and every time.

We recently catered a birthday party for Adam, who had heard great things about our services. Wanting to treat his thirty-five guests to our sumptuous pigs in buns, made from a hog that we would roast on the day so it would be as fresh as can be, Adam said he also wanted to give his guests extra options. From handmade canapés to hot or cold sides, multiple courses or dishes specifically made for guests with dietary needs, we have the capabilities to give everyone on your guest list great variety and choice and for this party, we would be cooking spicy sweet potato wedges and preparing our fresh coleslaw and a tomato and mozzarella salad too.

On the day of Adam’s 40th birthday, our professional Hog Roast Balham team cooked up a storm, starting with our chef preparing the meat from scratch at the venue, a local sports hall. After scoring the meat all over diagonally, and then covering it in plenty of water and then lots of salt, it was sizzling away for hours on end while we kept an eye on it. By the time it was done to pure perfection, all of the guests had arrived to some amazing aromas, a sight for sore eyes, and they were in for a wonderfully tasty treat with our succulent pigs in buns, freshly-cooked wedges and our garden-fresh salads.
