Questions from Somers Town
Can you do a hog roast in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Somers Town?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request thin slices
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Halal isn’t offered
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
