Questions from Primrose Hill
Could you cook in Regent's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Primrose Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Primrose Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What affects the price in Primrose Hill
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A firm way on and off the field
- A safe distance from other traders
As a London location, Primrose Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
