Slow-roasted pork in Somers Town
How our Christmas hog roast works in Somers Town
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Somers Town, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Whether it’s december open days and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
For Christmas parties in Somers Town, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Somers Town is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Somers Town
Could you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Somers Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What happens if it is dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Indoor space for eating
- Light by the serving table
As a London location, Somers Town 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.
