What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Open days in Old Ford generally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Every staff event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Old Ford
Which station is closest to Old Ford?
The closest is Hackney Wick station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Grove Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we will reply.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
