Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Questions from North Finchley
What if our house in North Finchley has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to North Finchley?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it’s light in North Finchley until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
