What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December East Barnet is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.

Which station is closest to East Barnet?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Generally, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Approval from locations
As a London location, East Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
