A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Gants Hill questions
What if our house in Gants Hill has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Gants Hill?
Ilford station, about 1.2 miles south of the centre.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
Gants Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
