Common questions in Hendon
Can you do a hog roast in Hendon Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Hendon has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Late-May events in Hendon have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Details of what the event requires
- Space for people to queue
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
As a London location, Hendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
