Hog roast for events in Upper Holloway, carved to order
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. For food and music festivals and school events, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Events in Upper Holloway range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A firm way on and off the field
Upper Holloway 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’ll advise.
