About hog roast hire in N18
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include community events and sports clubs and societies, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast catering in N18: local guide
N18 covers everything from Edmonton, Tottenham and Upper Edmonton to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Upper Edmonton: A green space like Pymmes Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Mary's Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Edmonton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
