Highbury: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Highbury?
Highbury has its own station: Canonbury station.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Highbury and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A word with the neighbours
Highbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
