Questions from Clapton
Which station is closest to Clapton?
Clapton station, in Clapton itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Clapton
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. We’re frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and christmas fairs, serving roast turkey, halloumi skewers and crackling.
London Christmas parties in Clapton are frequently at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Tell us about lighting and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Christmas parties in Clapton: local tips
Clapton is about 2 miles east of Highbury, in Greater London. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Clapton, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Clapton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater.
A Christmas fair at Church of St James the Great is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. A winter fair at a school like BSix Sixth Form College gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Wherever your Christmas party is in E5, N16 and E8, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Muir Road, Downs Road and Tilia Road, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Lea Bridge (1 mile north-east), West Hackney (1 mile west), Homerton (1 mile south-east), Lower Clapton (1 mile south-east) and Shacklewell (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in London (4 miles south), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (5 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-west) and Whitechapel (3 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Homerton University Hospital (0.8 miles south-east) and Clowns Gallery-Museum (1.2 miles south-west). Open spaces near Clapton include Dartmouth Park Hill and Hollow Pond.
- Nearby schools include Baden-Powell School (within half a mile south-west) and Newcome's School (0.5 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Amhurst Arms Public House (0.6 miles south-west)
- Local facilities include Leabridge (less than half a mile east)
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Clearance from walls and tents
Clapton 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-December sunset in Clapton comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
