We’re self-contained at base.
Here’s what people in East Ham most often book a hog roast for:
- Crew thank-you days
- Wrap parties

Nearby historic houses include Eastbury Manor House (1.9 miles east) and Valentines Mansion (3 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.

- The location manager’s agreement
East Ham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

What affects the price in East Ham
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December East Ham is dark by about 3:50pm.
- 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 serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.

Questions from East Ham
What if our house in East Ham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That’s exactly how we work.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
For event organisers in East Ham
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
