- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Colindale
Can you do a hog roast in Sunny Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Colindale?
Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do you come to Colindale?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Colindale and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, it is light in Colindale until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
