A hog roast near High Barnet
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late May, sunset in High Barnet is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

How our hog roast for events works in High Barnet
At a fête, fair or festival in High Barnet, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. Popular choices include apple sauce, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater car and steam shows and food and music festivals.
In High Barnet, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
