Could you cook in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to West Hendon?
West Hendon has its own station: Hendon station.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What paperwork do you provide?

Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cater in West Hendon?
Yes, West Hendon is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Space for people to queue
West Hendon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A hog roast or other catering?

What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
