Common questions in Canonbury
What’s the nearest station to Canonbury?
Canonbury station, in Canonbury itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Canonbury?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Should we choose a hog roast or a barbecue?
It depends on your guests: a hog roast suits a crowd, a barbecue suits mixed tastes. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest one.
Do you cater weddings and work events?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
Are you a full-service caterer?
We cook hog roasts and barbecues at events, with sides and vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us what you’re planning and we will suggest a menu.
Can you feed a big crowd?
Yes: a hog roast is ideal for large numbers, and a barbecue can be added. Tell us your numbers and timings and we’ll plan the service.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you serve inside?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can frequently serve inside if the venue agrees. Ask your venue what they allow.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
If timings change on the day, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
The process
We arrive with everything we need to cook and serve, and set up on the spot we agreed. From there, food is timed to your serving time. For an evening event in Canonbury, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day

- Give us a contact number for the day

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
Gardens, yards, car parks and fields can all work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Clearance from walls, tents and overhanging branches
Canonbury 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.
