What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Hog roast hire for your event in Palmer's Green
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and salads.
In a hamlet or village like Palmer's Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
