How our corporate hog roast works in Hornchurch Marshes
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Hornchurch Marshes, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for long-service celebrations and project wrap-ups.
London work events in Hornchurch Marshes often run to a tight lunch break, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Let us know about access and site rules. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Common questions in Hornchurch Marshes
Can you do a hog roast in Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hornchurch Marshes?
The closest is Dagenham Dock station, roughly 1 mile away.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Why choose a hog roast in Hornchurch Marshes?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
