For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What affects the price in Becontree
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Becontree lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from locations
- Shelter for crew
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
Becontree 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
