How our hog roast hire works in Totteridge
People book a hog roast in Totteridge for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving.

In a London neighbourhood like Totteridge, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
