What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Common questions in Belsize Park
Could you cook in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater in Belsize Park?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
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 bring everything else.
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.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
