Party hog roast in Finsbury
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Finsbury 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.

How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. In Finsbury, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for

FAQs for Finsbury
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Finsbury?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Artillery Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
