Party hog roast near Tufnell Park
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater neighbourhood parties and engagement parties.
In Tufnell Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Tufnell Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tufnell Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Benet and All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
Take a look at our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Tufnell Park 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
