Christmas hog roast in Hackney
Christmas hog roast in Hackney, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are hog roast rolls, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater staff Christmas do’s and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
In Hackney, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Hackney questions
Which station is closest to Hackney?
Hackney has its own station: Homerton station.
Could you cook in Clapton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Hackney in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
