Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

Your questions about a hog roast in South Hampstead
What if our house in South Hampstead has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
