FAQs for New Barnet
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in New Barnet?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Victoria Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Many homes make it a family day.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Next to staff cooking, we take the cooking off your team. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
