Corporate hog roast in Rainham, carved to order

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
The process
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 Rainham typically finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Common questions in Rainham
Which station is closest to Rainham?
Rainham has its own station: Rainham (Essex) station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Rainham?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
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.
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
