- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Room for a serving table and a queue
As a London location, Hendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

What affects the price in Hendon
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Your serving time sets our timings: we arrive early for a hog roast, and in good time for a barbecue. Either way, food is ready when you are. Around midsummer it stays light in Hendon until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up outdoors under cover.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Your questions about caterers in Hendon
Can you do a hog roast in Hendon Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Hendon has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
No. We also do BBQ catering, with burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, and many events have both.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. Pass on their details and we will sort the practical side.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as your date is fixed. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What else we do in Hendon
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
A hog roast starts hours before serving; a barbecue is cooked through service. Either way, we work back from your serving time.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is our catering right for your event?
Compared with a buffet caterer, our food comes hot, straight from the roaster or grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Hendon hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Two menus to choose from
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked where you are
