Your questions about a hog roast day in Tufnell Park
What’s the nearest station to Tufnell Park?
Upper Holloway station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tufnell Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late May in Tufnell Park has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level outdoor area
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Sign-off from management
Tufnell Park 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Chicken can be added.
