DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Party hog roast in Northumberland Heath, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Northumberland Heath suit a hog roast: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. Whether it’s leaving and retirement do’s and family reunions, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and coleslaw.
In Northumberland Heath, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. Send us a picture. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Northumberland Heath
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Northumberland Heath?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
As a London location, Northumberland Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it is light in Northumberland Heath until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
