Caterers in Holborn
Event catering in Holborn, cooked on site
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. In Holborn, that opens up gardens, fields, car parks and marquees, as long as there’s a way in for our equipment. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and Fêtes, fairs and school events, with beef brisket, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls with crackling.
Events in Holborn range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Choosing caterers in Holborn
Next to a sit-down dinner, hog roast and barbecue food keeps things informal, though plates and sides make it a proper meal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

The process
With a hog roast, the meat is ready to carve; with a barbecue, it comes straight off the grill. Either way, we serve and tidy up. In Holborn, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Your questions about caterers in Holborn
Can you do a hog roast in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Holborn?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

We don’t. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.
How we price your catering
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
