Book a hog roast in Barnet

What we serve, dish by dish

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

How our party hog roast works in Barnet

Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthday parties and getting-engaged parties.

Most parties in Barnet are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Where the roaster can go in Barnet

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
  • Somewhere dry for guests to eat
  • Space for our vehicle near the drive

As a London location, Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Hog roast rolls
  • Salads
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Jacket potatoes
  • Coleslaw
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • Rotisserie chicken

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Why us?

  • Served at the time you choose
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • Sides to make it a full meal

Prices and what affects them

We work out each quote from:

  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • Site access
  • Plates or china
  • How many people are eating

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:

  • The venue or postcode
  • An estimate of numbers
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Dietary requirements

The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A summer party in Barnet stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We set up hours ahead.
  4. At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Let us know about tight access

Barnet parties: what to know

Barnet is in Greater London. We take a hog roast for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Barnet and the surrounding area. Barnet is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Barnet to London (about 11 miles away).

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St John's United Reformed Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. If you had Highlands Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Wherever your party is in EN5, EN4, N20 and N11, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Station Road, High Street and Sambroke Square; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Main roads around Barnet include the B193 and A1081, which makes travel to your party easy. Other places close to Barnet we cover include Underhill (1 mile west), New Barnet (1 mile east), Monken Hadley (1 mile north-west), Hadley Wood (1 mile north-east) and Cockfosters (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (11 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south), Marylebone (9 miles south), Kensington (10 miles south), St Pancras (9 miles south) and Shoreditch (10 miles south-east).

Nearby you’ll also find Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum (2.1 miles south) and Spires Shopping Centre (0.9 miles north-west). The countryside around Barnet includes Darland's Lake and Greenhill Gardens.

  • Nearby schools include Queen Elizabeth's Girls' School (0.6 miles north-west) and Susi Earnshaw Theatre School (0.7 miles north-west)
  • Pubs nearby include The Railway Tavern (0.6 miles north-east)
  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Barnet Urban District (0.6 miles north-west)

Allergies and dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Barnet

What if our house in Barnet has no side access?

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can you cater after a service at St John's United Reformed Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Do we need our own staff?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Can we cook it ourselves?

You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.

What about the neighbours?

It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

Catered or do it yourself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
