What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

- The number of people
- Travel to Forest Gate
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

When you contact us, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area

FAQs for Forest Gate
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Forest Gate?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. If your staff event in Forest Gate runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:20pm in June, 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
