- 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 tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal

FAQs for West Ham
What’s the nearest station to West Ham?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
Can you cater in West Ham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, West Ham and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- A lit route to the food
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
West Ham 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
