Common questions in Hacton
Can you do a hog roast in Hornchurch Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hacton?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planning the cooking spot

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For event organisers in Hacton
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Hacton, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
