Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
FAQs for Plaistow
What’s the nearest station to Plaistow?
West Ham station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.
Could you cook in Keir Hardie Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
