A hog roast near Harringay
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A word with the neighbours
Harringay is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Party hog roast in Harringay, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. On the menu are apple sauce, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for garden parties and milestone birthdays.
Most parties in Harringay 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. Send us a picture. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

For event organisers in Harringay
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Harringay stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
