How our Christmas hog roast works in East Ham
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in East Ham suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and we are regularly asked to cater festive family get-togethers and sports club Christmas do’s.
In East Ham, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A lunchtime Christmas party in East Ham is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

FAQs for East Ham
Could you cook in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in East Ham?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

The menu, dish by dish

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
A hog roast compared with other options
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Vehicle access close by
As a London location, East Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
