Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Common questions in Harlesden
What if our house in Harlesden has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Souls: 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. Send us the address.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why Harlesden hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
