Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Lower Holloway
Which station is closest to Lower Holloway?
Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
