Common questions in Pinner
We are gathering after a service at Christian Science Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
Do you cover Pinner?
Yes, Pinner is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How our funeral wake catering works in Pinner
After a funeral in Pinner, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and gatherings at clubs and pubs, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
In Pinner, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space inside for guests
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
As a London location, Pinner 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
