Our hog roast hire in EN4

The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include coleslaw, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for christmas fairs and weddings, day or evening.

Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

  1. First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
  3. On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
  4. We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
  5. We clear the serving area and pack away.

Planning a hog roast in EN4

EN4 covers everything from Barnet, New Barnet and Osidge to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.

Cockfosters: For a fundraiser at a school like Trent CofE Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Among the historic houses close to Cockfosters are Wyllyotts Manor (3.4 miles north-west) and Forty Hall (3.9 miles east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. In Cockfosters, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Planning the cooking spot

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

  • Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Parking near the spot
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

  • Site access
  • How long the roast and service take
  • Distance from us
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What we need to know

To get the best quote, tell us:

  • Anything the venue has asked for
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • What the outdoor space is like
  • Rough numbers

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.

What your quote should include

  • How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
  • Any travel or access charges
  • When payments are due and what happens if plans change
  • The menu, including sides and any extras

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

EN4 questions

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.

What space does the roaster need?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

Can we choose catered or DIY?

Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.

What happens after service?

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Do you come to EN4?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, EN4 and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

What happens when we hire a hog roast?

You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.

What meats can we have?

It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
