Hendon questions
What’s the nearest station to Hendon?
The closest is Hendon station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church Hendon: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
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.
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’ll bring the rest.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Hog roast hire for your event in Hendon
People book a hog roast in Hendon for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and club events and presentations.
Around Hendon, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a photo. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Organising for someone else?

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Hendon: venues, access and local tips
Hendon is about 3 miles north-west of Hampstead, in Greater London. We cater events of every size in Hendon. Hendon is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Hendon to London (8 miles away).
If you had Hendon Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Hendon School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
We cover events in every part of the NW4, NW9, NW2 and NW11 postcode area. We can cater an event on streets such as Church Road, Station Road and Sydney Grove, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. With the A5 and A41 close by, Hendon is easy for us to reach for your event. For events just outside Hendon, we cover The Burroughs (1 mile north-west), Brent Cross (1 mile south), Staples Corner (1 mile south), West Hendon (1 mile west) and The Hyde (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in London (8 miles south-east), City of Westminster (6 miles south-east), Marylebone (6 miles south-east), Kensington (6 miles south), St Pancras (6 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (7 miles south-east).

- Local schools include Hasmonean Primary School (within half a mile south-east) and Kisharon College (0.6 miles north)
- Local pubs include The White Bear pub (within half a mile north-west)
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. In Hendon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- 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.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Hendon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
