Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Cranham
Which station is closest to Cranham?
The closest is Upminster station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in St. Andrew's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Cranham
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Cranham is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
