Common questions in Dollis Hill
What’s the nearest station to Dollis Hill?
Dollis Hill has its own station: Brent Cross West station.
What if our house in Dollis Hill has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater in Dollis Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Dollis Hill and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
