How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late September, sunset in Pinner Green is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

FAQs for Pinner Green
What if our house in Pinner Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
