East Finchley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to East Finchley?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is all of Greater London covered?
All of Greater London is in our area. Send us the address and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
About our hog roast hire in East Finchley
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in East Finchley. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We’re frequently asked to cater corporate events and christmas fairs, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling.
In a London neighbourhood like East Finchley, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a photo helps us check. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In East Finchley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
