Hog roast catering in NW2: local guide
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in NW2, so whether your event is in West Hampstead, Neasden and Hendon or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Cricklewood: Coming by train? Cricklewood has its own station, Cricklewood station. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Gabriel's Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Cricklewood, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
