Hog roast hire in New Barnet
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Hog roast hire in New Barnet, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s summer garden parties and wakes, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
From a family garden to an office courtyard, bookings in New Barnet come in all shapes. Tell us how we get the equipment in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In New Barnet, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
