What else we do in Primrose Hill
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A summer party in Primrose Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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 leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

For event organisers in Primrose Hill
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Questions from Primrose Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Primrose Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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 we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
