Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Someone to meet us
- Clear of bedroom windows
Becontree Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

FAQs for Becontree Heath
Can you do a hog roast in Parsloes Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if our house in Becontree Heath has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you provide china?

What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In summer, Becontree Heath has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
