Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in The Hyde
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in The Hyde?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
