Book a hog roast in Little Ilford
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Corporate hog roast in Little Ilford, carved to order
From a small team to a whole site, the roast is sized to fit. Tell us the numbers and the serving window and we’ll quote. We are often asked to cater summer team parties and client hospitality, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In Little Ilford, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we roast ahead and carve fast. Let us know about access and site rules. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Little Ilford
What’s the nearest station to Little Ilford?
Little Ilford has its own station: Manor Park station.
What if our house in Little Ilford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you work around our timings?
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 does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will explain the booking terms.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Shelter for the team
- Level hardstanding or lawn
Little Ilford 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Little Ilford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
