What else we do in Holborn
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
Where the roaster can go in Holborn
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Access through the site gates
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A contact on site
Holborn is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
For event organisers in Holborn
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
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.
What affects the price in Holborn
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a staff lunch in Holborn, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
