Questions from Dagenham Green
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Dagenham Green?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Dagenham Green?
Dagenham Green has its own station: Dagenham Dock station.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Check with family about dietary needs
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
