Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event

Location catering around Rush Green
Rush Green is about 1 mile south-west of Romford, in Greater London. From village halls to gardens and fields, shoots around Rush Green suit a hog roast. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Hare Hall (2.1 miles north-east) and Rainham Hall (3.4 miles south). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations.
Anywhere in RM7, RM1 and RM12, we can bring the roaster to you. That could mean a shoot in a garden on Crow Lane, Union Road and Maldon Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Why choose a hog roast in Rush Green?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In December, daylight in Rush Green ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Rush Green
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
