Christmas hog roast in Stratford, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling, and we are frequently booked for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and late-night shopping events.
For Christmas parties in Stratford, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planning a Christmas party in Stratford
Stratford is about 5 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Christmas parties in Stratford are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to 764 places across Greater London.
Train travellers will want to know that Stratford (London) station is in Stratford itself. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Stratford Circus, suit a hog roast.
This part of Greater London takes in E15, E20 and E3. We can cater a Christmas party on streets such as Gay Road, Cam Road and Eve Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Stratford, we also cover Maryland (1 mile east), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Hackney Wick (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (5 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).

- Local pubs include The Two Puddings pub (less than half a mile south-east)
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it’s dark in Stratford by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Parking near the cooking area
Stratford 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Keep vegetarian food labelled

The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.

What else we do in Stratford
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
