Your questions about a hog roast in Northwood
Can you cater after a service at Emmanuel Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if our house in Northwood has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

Northwood: venues, access and local tips
Northwood is in Greater London. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Northwood, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. We cater 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Northwood to London (about 16 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Frithwood Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. A green space like King George V Playing Fields is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
This part of Greater London takes in HA6. Local streets include Little Stream Close and Sandy Lodge Way; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Northwood we cover include Eastbury (1 mile north-east), Moor Park (1 mile north-west) and Holywell (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (14 miles south-east), Marylebone (14 miles south-east), Kensington (12 miles south-east), St Pancras (14 miles south-east), Hampstead (11 miles south-east) and Ruislip (3 miles south).

Where the roaster can go in Northwood
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Northwood 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.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Northwood, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Northwood
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
