Hoxton: venues, access and local tips
Hoxton is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. Hoxton is well within our area for events. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
A green space like Shoreditch Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. For a fundraiser at a school like Shoreditch Park Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school.
Here we cover the N1, N1P and EC1V postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. That could mean an event in a garden on City Road, Noel Road and East Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Being close to the A1200 and A1208, Hoxton is easy for us to reach with the roaster. Close by, we cover events in Haggerston (1 mile east), Shoreditch (1 mile south-east), Canonbury (1 mile north), De Beauvoir Town (1 mile north) and St Luke's (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (3 miles south-west), Marylebone (3 miles south-west), Kensington (6 miles south-west), Walthamstow (4 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles west) and Ruislip (14 miles west). As one of the bigger places in Greater London, Hoxton has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
Nearby you will also find Montfichet's Tower (1.6 miles south-west) and Hackney Walk (1.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Barnsbury Wood.
- Nearby schools include Hackney University Technical College (less than half a mile south-east) and Islington Green School (0.6 miles west)
- Local pubs include Stag's Head pub (less than half a mile north-east)
- Other local spots include Metropolitan Borough of Islington (0.9 miles north-west) and Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives (1.1 miles south)
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
