Wedding hog roast near East Finchley
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We are frequently asked to cater blessings and renewals and weddings in a family garden, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
In East Finchley, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Where the roaster can go in East Finchley

- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
East Finchley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Questions from East Finchley
What’s the nearest station to East Finchley?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
