A hog roast near Colindale
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Colindale
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for launch days and team-building days.
London work events in Colindale often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan the roast and service around it. Tell us about site access and security. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Colindale questions
Can you do a hog roast in Sunny Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Colindale has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we book for a business?
Send your requirements, and the quote will include the terms.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Lunchtime bookings in Colindale are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
