Common questions in Holloway
What’s the nearest station to Holloway?
Drayton Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are often easier for residents.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Holloway
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In Holloway, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
