Party hog roast near Finchley
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Finchley, then carve at the time you choose, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. For big family get-togethers and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
Most parties in Finchley are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

A green space like Victoria Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
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.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Finchley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or N3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Finchley
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Finchley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Finchley: can you cater?
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 will gather.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
