What affects the price in Northolt
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Northolt
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Northolt questions
What if our house in Northolt has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Northala Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
A hog roast compared with other options

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route for our vehicle
- One contact for the day
- Flat ground at the unit base
As a London location, Northolt is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
