Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Hornchurch
Could you cook in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hornchurch?
Emerson Park station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us a contact on site for the day.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A contact on site
- Level hardstanding or lawn
Hornchurch 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.

What affects the price in Hornchurch
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. After-work summer events in Hornchurch have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
