Your questions about a hog roast day in Blendon
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Blendon?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Blendon?
The closest is Albany Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Blendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Blendon, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your residents

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
What else we do in Blendon
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
