Party hog roast in Holloway
About our party hog roast in Holloway
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Holloway, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include coleslaw, crackling and jacket potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and street parties.
Most parties in Holloway are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a photo. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Why choose a hog roast in Holloway?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Holloway hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it is light in Holloway until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Questions from Holloway
Can you cater after a service at St Joseph and St Padarn's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Where the roaster can go in Holloway
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
