Common questions in Belsize Park
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Belsize Park?
South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Why choose party hog roast in Belsize Park?

Whatever the occasion in Belsize Park, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:
- Milestone birthdays

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Belsize Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
