What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Barnet is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

What affects the price in Barnet
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

We love fêtes. Ask for details.

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
