Slow-roasted pork in Silvertown
Christmas hog roast in Silvertown, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are often asked to cater year-end thank-yous and winter fairs and markets, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
For Christmas parties in Silvertown, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Silvertown questions
What if our house in Silvertown has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Thames Barrier Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Vehicle access close by
Silvertown is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Label alternatives clearly
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Silvertown, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day
