Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
What affects the price in East Finchley
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Common questions in East Finchley
Could you cook in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in East Finchley?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
