What else we do in High Barnet
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Common questions in High Barnet
What if our house in High Barnet has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to High Barnet?
Hadley Wood station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
