Slow-roasted pork in Dagenham
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Dagenham
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. For end-of-term celebrations and christmas lights switch-ons, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
For Christmas parties in Dagenham, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Dagenham in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Common questions in Dagenham
What’s the nearest station to Dagenham?
Dagenham Dock station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
What if our house in Dagenham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
As a London location, Dagenham 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
