Islington questions
What if our house in Islington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Barnard Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite

Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
