Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

FAQs for Turnpike Lane
What’s the nearest station to Turnpike Lane?
Turnpike Lane has its own station: Hornsey station.
Could you cook in Ducketts Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A short route for our equipment
Turnpike Lane is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it is dark in Turnpike Lane by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
