Why choose a hog roast in Plaistow?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What affects the price in Plaistow
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Plaistow
What’s the nearest station to Plaistow?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Could you cook in Keir Hardie Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cover Plaistow?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
