Hampstead Garden Suburb questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at Free Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Things that change the price:
- Menu choices and extras

- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Hampstead Garden Suburb until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
As a London location, Hampstead Garden Suburb is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
