How our party hog roast works in Friern Barnet
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include street parties and big family get-togethers, with jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
Most parties in Friern Barnet are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- Neighbours warned about the smell

Common questions in Friern Barnet
Could you cook in Friary Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Friern Barnet?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Friern Barnet until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
