Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Hornchurch Marshes hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Hornchurch Marshes 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.
On the menu in Hornchurch Marshes
- Vegan option (Ve)

- Roast pork, carved
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
