How our hog roast for events works in Arnos Grove
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Arnos Grove. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. Popular choices include crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and agricultural and country shows.
In Arnos Grove, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A level pitch
Arnos Grove is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What affects the price in Arnos Grove
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Arnos Grove
Which station is closest to Arnos Grove?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if our house in Arnos Grove 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 should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September events in Arnos Grove lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
