Slow-roasted pork in Harringay
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Hog roast hire for your event in Harringay
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and weddings and receptions.
Around Harringay, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Harringay, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
