Christmas hog roast for Totteridge
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

- A lit route to the food
- Parking near the cooking area
- Clearance from walls and tents
As a London location, Totteridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Totteridge questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Totteridge?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in Brook Farm Open Space?
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 do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
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.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
