We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and festive gatherings, with salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in N1P.

A hog roast across N1P: what to know
Across N1P, we cover 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hoxton, Angel and Pentonville to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Hoxton: Among the historic houses close to Hoxton are Mansion House (1.4 miles south) and Dr Johnson's House (1.6 miles south-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. After a service at Church of St Anne with St Columba, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Late September evenings in Hoxton lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Questions from N1P
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
