What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Sign-off from management
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Away from opening windows
Finsbury Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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.

Questions from Finsbury Park
Could you cook in Stationers Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Finsbury Park has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Winter afternoons in Finsbury Park are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

How to prepare
