Hog roast for events for Finsbury
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Finsbury
Can you come to a school fair in Finsbury?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you cook in Artillery Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
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.
Do you need power on site?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Hog roast for events in Finsbury, slow-roasted on site

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. 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.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
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. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch with firm ground
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
As a London location, Finsbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
