Questions from Mapesbury
Which station is closest to Mapesbury?
Wembley Stadium station, in Mapesbury itself.
What if our house in Mapesbury has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
About our Christmas hog roast in Mapesbury
For a work Christmas party in Mapesbury, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and end-of-term celebrations.
In Mapesbury, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For event organisers in Mapesbury
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Label alternatives clearly
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Light by the serving table
- A short route for our equipment
- Indoor space for eating
As a London location, Mapesbury 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
