Party hog roast in Muswell Hill, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. For summer parties in the garden and street parties, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling for your guests.
Throwing a party in Muswell Hill? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. At midsummer, it is light in Muswell Hill until about 9:20pm, 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.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
For event organisers in Muswell Hill
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- Parking close to the house
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Muswell Hill 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’ll advise before you book.
