Your questions about a hog roast in Holborn
Which station is closest to Holborn?
Holborn has its own station: Farringdon station.
Could you cook in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Holborn hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
