Party hog roast in Totteridge, slow-roasted on site

Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Typical bookings include big family get-togethers and milestone birthdays, with hog roast rolls, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.

In Totteridge, 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. A picture helps. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

Space, access and the venue

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

  • Somewhere for us to park nearby
  • A word with the neighbours
  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

Totteridge 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.

FAQs for Totteridge

Which station is closest to Totteridge?

The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1.5 miles away.

Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can we cook it ourselves?

You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

How soon do you get booked up?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

What happens after service?

We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

What happens in bad weather?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Totteridge is about 7:05pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

  1. Show us the garden or drive.
  2. We confirm it works and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
  4. Our staff serve rolls and sides.
  5. We leave the garden tidy.

How to prepare

  • Have a level outdoor spot ready

Should I cook it myself?

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How to compare hog roast caterers

Allergies and dietary needs

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Think about children’s portions
  • Ask about allergies on the invitation
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food

We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

A hog roast compared with other options
