Christmas hog roast in Hornsey
How our Christmas hog roast works in Hornsey
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Whether it’s winter fairs and markets and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In Hornsey, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Travel to Hornsey
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for Hornsey, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- An itemised quote
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
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. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hornsey is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Which station is closest to Hornsey?

Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
