Questions from Hornsey

Could you cook in Priory Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Which station is closest to Hornsey?

Hornsey has its own station: Hornsey station.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Can you cater in Hornsey?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hornsey and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.

Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?

It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, depending on the crockery and menu.

How do we book for a business?

Get in touch with your details, and we will set out the terms with your quote.

Do we need our own staff?

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Can you roast in the rain?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Why choose corporate hog roast in Hornsey?

Our staff serve and clear, so your team does not have to.

Catered or do it yourself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The process

The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Daytime open days in Hornsey are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

  1. You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
  2. You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
  3. We set up early and get the hog roasting.
  4. The team carves and serves on time.
  5. We tidy up and leave the site clean.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Let us know about tight access
