Party hog roast in Whetstone
How our party hog roast works in Whetstone
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. For retirement parties and big family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
Most parties in Whetstone are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Hosting a hog roast party in Whetstone
Whetstone is about 7 miles north of St Pancras, in Greater London. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Whetstone and the surrounding area. Whetstone is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St John, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. No room at home? A club or hall near Whetstone with outdoor space frequently works.
We cover parties in every part of N12, N20 and N11. Streets in the area include High Road, Swan Lane and Dene Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. With the A1000 close by, Whetstone is simple for us to get to with the roaster. If your venue is just outside Whetstone, we also cover Oakleigh Park (1 mile west), North Finchley (1 mile south), Woodside Park (1 mile south-west), East Barnet (1 mile north-east) and Brunswick Park (1 mile east).

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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Perfect for your party in Whetstone
Children normally love it, with chicken as a backup.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
As a London location, Whetstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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.

- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
