Hog roast hire in North Finchley, slow-roasted on site
In North Finchley, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it is community events and big birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and halloumi skewers and more.
Around North Finchley, 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 a picture helps us check. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
North Finchley 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.

Your questions about a hog roast in North Finchley
We’re gathering after a service at St. Barnabas Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in North Finchley?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you cover North Finchley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, North Finchley and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
