Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds
As a London location, Beckton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.

How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
