About our Christmas hog roast in West Hendon
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in West Hendon. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
Around West Hendon, 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 the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from West Hendon
Can you do a hog roast in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in West Hendon?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
