Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Colindale
Could you cook in Sunny Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Colindale has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Colindale stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
