Questions from Somers Town
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Somers Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you come to Somers Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Somers Town and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.

Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We pack away straight after service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Somers Town
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
