What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Swiss Cottage
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Swiss Cottage suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. For end-of-term celebrations and family Christmas gatherings, we can cook roast potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Around Swiss Cottage, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What else we do in Swiss Cottage
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, it is dark in Swiss Cottage by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or NW3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Swiss Cottage
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who does not eat pork
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast turkey can be added.
Questions from Swiss Cottage
Can you do a hog roast in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Swiss Cottage?
South Hampstead station, in Swiss Cottage itself.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is lighting needed?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Why choose a hog roast in Swiss Cottage?
