Common questions in Edgware Bury
What’s the nearest station to Edgware Bury?
The closest is Elstree & Borehamwood station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What if our house in Edgware Bury 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.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you come to Edgware Bury?
Yes, Edgware Bury is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn and winter afternoons in Edgware Bury get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
