DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. For charity fundraisers and school events, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.

Goodmayes is about 2 miles north of Barking, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Goodmayes, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Goodmayes to London (10 miles away).

Goodmayes sits on or near the A1083, which makes travel to your event easy.

Other occasions in Goodmayes
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
What affects the price in Goodmayes
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

FAQs for Goodmayes
Could you cook in South Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Goodmayes has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In December, Goodmayes is 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.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
