  • Roughly how many people
  • What the outdoor space is like

A hog roast or other catering?

At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Why Harrow on the Hill hosts choose us

  • We bring everything to cook and serve
  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Carved to order by a chef
  • No surprises: everything in writing

See how we price and what a hog roast costs.

Full catering or machine hire?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Questions from Harrow on the Hill

What if our house in Harrow on the Hill has no side access?

Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Could you cook in Northwick Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

What about coeliacs?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.

How long does the roast need?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Do December dates go quickly?

December weekends go first. Send your date early.

For planners, venues and organisers

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

How it works

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Harrow on the Hill, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

  1. Ask early for a December date.
  2. We check your venue and send a quote.
  3. We set up under cover in daylight.
  4. We serve pork, turkey and sides.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Name a contact for the day

Planning help

Looking after everyone

Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

  • Keep vegetarian food labelled
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Send the allergen list round before the party
  • Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list

A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.

Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
