North Finchley: your questions answered
Could you cook in Friary Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to North Finchley?
New Southgate station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Can you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in North Finchley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
