How our event catering works in Stratford
Across Stratford, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days. The menu changes with the occasion, but it’s always cooked on site and served by our team. For residents’ days and staff days and client events, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Looking for caterers in Stratford? In London, the cooking spot and access matter most. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A picture helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Stratford questions
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Stratford has no side access?
Frequently, 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.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
It depends on your guests: a hog roast suits a crowd, a barbecue suits mixed tastes. We are happy to advise.
How soon do dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends and Christmas. Midweek dates are often easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
What events do you cater?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No. We cook outdoors under cover: all we need is a level spot outdoors with access.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Event catering in Stratford: what to know

Clubs and leisure centres near Stratford frequently host events with outdoor space for caterers.
We bring hog roasts to events all over E15, E20 and E3 and the streets around it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, and served in a soft roll.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving.
For a long event, a hog roast at lunch and a barbecue later can work.
Why choose event catering in Stratford?
We cook outdoors under cover
Hosts in Stratford book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Christmas parties
- Work events and open days

- Gatherings after a service
After a wedding, christening or funeral at a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist, we can cater at a hall, home or venue nearby.

Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Compared with booking several food vans, a single caterer means one menu, one queue and one point of contact. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Two menus to choose from
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
