A hog roast near New Barnet
How our Christmas hog roast works in New Barnet
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. For late-night shopping events and family Christmas gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers and more.
Around New Barnet, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

New Barnet questions

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’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to New Barnet?
New Barnet has its own station: New Barnet station.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Indoor space for eating
As a London location, New Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Christmas parties in New Barnet are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- 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
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
