Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in St John's Wood
What’s the nearest station to St John's Wood?
St John's Wood has its own station: South Hampstead station.
Could you cook in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, it is dark in St John's Wood by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
