Party hog roast in Hornsey, carved to order

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day

- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

We’re gathering after a service at Church of Holy Innocents: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What do people get?
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.
Do we need to provide electricity?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
