About our party hog roast in Somers Town
In Somers Town, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and christenings, with jacket potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Most parties in Somers Town are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an evening party in Somers Town, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
What affects the price in Somers Town
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
