Slow-roasted pork in Tufnell Park
Hog roast hire for your event in Tufnell Park
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties.
London gardens around Tufnell Park are often small and close to neighbours, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Tufnell Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tufnell Park?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Benet and All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you travel across Greater London?
Greater London is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What’s included?
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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why choose a hog roast in Tufnell Park?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
