A hog roast near South Harrow
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in South Harrow, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for people to queue
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
As a London location, South Harrow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in South Harrow
Which station is closest to South Harrow?
Northolt Park station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Harrow?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
