Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Southend hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What affects the price in Southend
The price comes down to:

To get the best quote, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Southend are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Southend questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Southend?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Forster Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
