Christmas hog roast in Canning Town
How our Christmas hog roast works in Canning Town
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and society Christmas socials.
Around Canning Town, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Canning Town questions
Which station is closest to Canning Town?
Canning Town has its own station: Custom House station.
What if our house in Canning Town has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
