Hog roast hire for Arnos Grove
How our hog roast hire works in Arnos Grove
In Arnos Grove, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs and corporate events, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling.
London gardens around Arnos Grove are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Arnos Grove lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

FAQs for Arnos Grove
Can you do a hog roast in Broomfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Arnos Grove has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can you cater in Arnos Grove?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Arnos Grove and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
