About our event catering in Palmers Green
Across Palmers Green, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days. We adapt the menu to the event, but it is always cooked on site and served by our team.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. Either way, we work back from your serving time.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Palmers Green
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover on the agreed spot. A hog roast cooks for hours before serving; a barbecue cooks through service, so we plan our arrival around your serving time. Evening events in Palmers Green need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We agree where we will cook.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
