About our Christmas hog roast in Kings Cross
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We are often asked to cater winter open days and end-of-term celebrations, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In Kings Cross, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Questions from Kings Cross
Can you do a hog roast in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Kings Cross has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What happens if it is dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
Kings Cross is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
