South Hornchurch questions
What if our house in South Hornchurch has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to South Hornchurch?
The closest is Rainham (Essex) station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
South Hornchurch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In summer, South Hornchurch 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.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your residents
