Christmas hog roast in Hornchurch
Common questions in Hornchurch
What if our house in Hornchurch has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Hornchurch?
The closest is Emerson Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.

Hornchurch in December: what to know
Hornchurch is in Greater London. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Hornchurch suit a hog roast. Hornchurch is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Hornchurch to London (14 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Saint George's Church is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Langtons Infant School, suit a hog roast.
Anywhere in RM12, RM11, RM14 and RM1, we can bring the roaster to you. Your Christmas party could be at a house on High Street, The Avenue and Stanley Road, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Hornchurch, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
