DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
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.

Finchley: your questions answered
What if our house in Finchley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Finchley?
New Southgate station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater in Finchley?
Yes, Finchley is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
