Christmas hog roast in Romford, slow-roasted on site
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. On the menu are roast turkey, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for family Christmas gatherings and staff Christmas do’s.
For Christmas parties in Romford, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
China crockery is available on request.
Where the roaster can go in Romford
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A lit route to the food
- Indoor space for eating
As a London location, Romford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
