FAQs for Monken Hadley
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Monken Hadley?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Thinking of a hog roast in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.
What your quote should include
- Travel and any London charges
- Whether plates or china are included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- VAT, if it applies
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Monken Hadley, 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, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

What affects the price in Monken Hadley
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Monken Hadley
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
