Holloway: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Joseph and St Padarn's Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For anyone arriving by rail, Drayton Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east, is the nearest station. By late September, sunset in Holloway is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

- Travel to N7

- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
