What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Upper Edmonton by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Common questions in Upper Edmonton
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Upper Edmonton?
Upper Edmonton has its own station: Silver Street station.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- One contact on the day
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Upper Edmonton 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 will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- New potatoes
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with family members cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
