How hog roast hire works in N10
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in N10: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include new potatoes, salads and crackling, and we are often booked for birthdays and anniversaries and community events.
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
What you will pay
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why hosts in N10 choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing

A hog roast across N10: what to know
N10 covers everything from Friern Barnet, New Southgate and Muswell Hill to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Muswell Hill: For a fundraiser at a school like Muswell Hill Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as O'Neill's pub, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Light matters for a long roast: around Muswell Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too.

How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
N10: your questions answered
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you cover N10?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, N10 and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
