Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Your questions about a hog roast in High Barnet
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re 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. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cover High Barnet?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, High Barnet and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Light matters for a long roast: around High Barnet, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.

Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Working with your venue
