Totteridge questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Totteridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Brook Farm Open Space?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Contact us.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How our hog roast for events works in Totteridge
Village fêtes around Totteridge suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Typical bookings include country shows and charity days, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In Totteridge, 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Totteridge, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
