Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Gospel Oak?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

It makes a work party feel generous.
People around Gospel Oak book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Club and society Christmas parties

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Gospel Oak?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:

- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
As a London location, Gospel Oak is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
