DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Old Ford, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
As a London location, Old Ford 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.
