A hog roast or other catering?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

FAQs for Romford
Can you do a hog roast in Lodge Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

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.
