Train travellers will want to know that Oakleigh Park station, about 0.8 miles north, is the nearest station. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over N12, N20 and N11. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on High Road, Swan Lane and Dene Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Questions from Whetstone
Which station is closest to Whetstone?
Oakleigh Park station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Whetstone?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Count who does not eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-December sunset in Whetstone comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
