Christmas hog roast for Southgate
Questions from Southgate
What if our house in Southgate has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Grovelands Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
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.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is lighting needed?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Southgate hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Served at the time you choose
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What affects the price in Southgate
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
Southgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
