Event catering in Hornchurch, cooked on site
Every menu has vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Lamb, chicken and beef options help when some guests do not eat pork. We’re often asked to cater garden parties and gatherings after a service, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls with crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Events in Hornchurch range from back-garden birthdays to office courtyards and school fairs. London gardens are frequently compact, so we look for a spot clear of fences and windows. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
We set up under cover where we agreed, well before food time. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. For an evening event in Hornchurch, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We arrive well before food time and set up under cover, on the spot we agreed.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, in a roll or with sides.
