How our hog roast hire works in Finchley
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and community events, with crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Gardens in Finchley tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast in Finchley
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Finchley?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Finchley: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: in Finchley, 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
As a London location, Finchley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
