Why choose a hog roast in The Burroughs?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in The Burroughs in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The Burroughs: your questions answered
Could you cook in Hendon Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in The Burroughs?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
