Slow-roasted pork in Northwood

About our party hog roast in Northwood

For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving and retirement do’s and engagement parties.

In Northwood, 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. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

A closer look at the menu

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

Full catering or machine hire?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Ask about allergies on the invitation
  • Think about children’s portions
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Questions from Northwood

We’re gathering after a service at Emmanuel Church: can you cater?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Could you cook in King George V Playing Fields?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

How soon do you get booked up?

Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Should we warn the neighbours?

Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.

Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?

If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.

What about kids?

Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.

Do we need to provide electricity?

The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Hosting a hog roast party in Northwood

Northwood is in Greater London. Parties in Northwood are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Northwood is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. Our nearest city page is London, about 16 miles away.

Thinking of a hog roast in King George V Playing Fields? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Historic houses near Northwood include Headstone Manor (3.3 miles south-east) and Ickenham Hall (3.9 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Wherever your party is in HA6, we can roast on site for your guests. Streets in the area include Little Stream Close and Sandy Lodge Way, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Northwood, we also cover Eastbury (1 mile north-east), Moor Park (1 mile north-west) and Holywell (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in City of Westminster (14 miles south-east), Marylebone (14 miles south-east), Kensington (12 miles south-east), St Pancras (14 miles south-east), Hampstead (11 miles south-east) and Ruislip (3 miles south).

Other landmarks nearby include Harlequin Centre (2.9 miles north-east) and Heath Robinson Museum (2.2 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Dews Farm Sand Pits and Tumbling Bay.

  • Schools near Northwood include London School of Theology (0.5 miles south-west) and Heathrow Aviation Engineering UTC (1.1 miles south-east)
  • Pubs nearby include The Gate Public House (0.8 miles west)

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
  • Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees

As a London location, Northwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A hog roast or other catering?

Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Why book with us

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • An itemised quote

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.

How it works

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Autumn parties in Northwood get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.

  1. Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Preparing for the day

  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Getting a price

Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
