Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What else we do in Arnos Grove
Your questions about a hog roast day in Arnos Grove
What if our house in Arnos Grove has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Broomfield Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How far ahead should we book?

Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
