Hog roast catering in UB5: local guide
Across UB5, we cover 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Ruislip, Harrow and Greenford or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Northolt: Thinking of a hog roast in Northala Fields? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. After a service at St Richard's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Around midsummer it stays light in Northolt until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
For event organisers in UB5
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
