Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Holloway Down, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Holloway Down questions
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity & St Augustine of Hippo: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Holloway Down?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you come to Holloway Down?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Holloway Down and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Where the roaster can go in Holloway Down
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
As a London location, Holloway Down is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
