FAQs for Lisson Grove
What’s the nearest station to Lisson Grove?
London Marylebone station, in Lisson Grove itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lisson Grove?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Light by the serving table
As a London location, Lisson Grove 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Christmas parties in Lisson Grove are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.

- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.

What else we do in Lisson Grove
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who does not eat pork
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
