Party hog roast for Barkingside
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Barkingside, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Common questions in Barkingside
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Barkingside?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Fairlop Waters?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
