Book a hog roast in Crouch End
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Crouch End
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Crouch End. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater work summer parties and big birthdays and anniversaries.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in Crouch End come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Common questions in Crouch End
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Priory Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
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 bring everything else.
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.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover Greater London and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.

Comparing caterers
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- Staffing on the day
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Light matters for a long roast: in Crouch End, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us a contact number for the day

What affects the price in Crouch End
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
