Slow-roasted pork in East Barnet
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around East Barnet, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in East Barnet: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater weddings and receptions and summer garden parties, with halloumi skewers, salads and coleslaw.
In East Barnet, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages

- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or N20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
