A hog roast near Hadley
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. By late September, the light in Hadley goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your residents

Hadley questions
Which station is closest to Hadley?
New Barnet station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Hadley hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
