Hog roast for events in Somers Town, carved to order
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For community events and club events, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
In Somers Town, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces typically need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal is not offered
We serve as the queue moves.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How it works

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Common questions in Somers Town
Could you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Somers Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
