How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Cricklewood stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Questions from Cricklewood
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cricklewood?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Gladstone Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
