A hog roast near Highgate
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How our hog roast for events works in Highgate
Charity fundraisers in Highgate can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater school fairs and sports days and community events.
In Highgate, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Highgate
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Highgate?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an autumn event in Highgate, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or N6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
