About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Common questions in Hatch End
Could you cook in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hatch End?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September sunset in Hatch End is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
