FAQs for Dagenham
Can you do a hog roast in Beam Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Dagenham?
The closest is Dagenham Dock station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cater in Dagenham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Dagenham and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Why choose a hog roast in Dagenham?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Make the stall easy to find
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Dagenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)

- Coleslaw

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Dagenham are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
How to get a price
