Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Lunchtime bookings in Lower Holloway are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Lower Holloway
Can you do a hog roast in St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Lower Holloway has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
