What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

What affects the price in Finsbury Park
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Full catering or machine hire?
