What’s the nearest station to Highbury?
Canonbury station, in Highbury itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Highbury, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day

- The date and time of the event
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact for the day
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
As a London location, Highbury 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
