Where we can cook in East Finchley
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- Enough room for people to queue
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
As a London location, East Finchley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Count anyone who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
If timings change on the day, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can.
For a long event, a hog roast at lunch and a barbecue later can work.

Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
That depends on who’s coming: if most eat pork and you want a centrepiece, a hog roast; if you want variety, a barbecue. Tell us about the event and we will suggest one.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you only do hog roasts?
Not at all: choose a hog roast, a barbecue or both, with vegetarian and vegan options on each.
What about vegetarian guests?
Yes, with halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
