About our corporate hog roast in East Finchley
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for customer days and summer staff parties.
For offices in and around East Finchley, the roaster generally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

East Finchley: your questions answered
What if our house in East Finchley has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How does payment work for businesses?
Contact us with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
Do you cover East Finchley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, East Finchley and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Where the roaster can go in East Finchley
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
East Finchley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Daytime open days in East Finchley are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
