A hog roast near Dagenham Dock
Corporate hog roast in Dagenham Dock, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it’s retirements and long-service awards and open days and family days, we will put together a menu of crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
For offices in and around Dagenham Dock, the roaster generally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

Questions from Dagenham Dock
Which station is closest to Dagenham Dock?
The closest is Dagenham Dock station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if our house in Dagenham Dock has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Access through the site gates
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
Dagenham Dock is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Step by step

Lunchtime bookings in Dagenham Dock are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
