Hacton events: pitches and permissions
Hacton is about 2 miles south of Hornchurch, in Greater London. Hacton and the surrounding area are covered for events. Hacton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 14 miles away.
School fairs, for a school like Scotts Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Events in parks such as Hornchurch Country Park need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles.
Wherever your event is in RM12, RM14 and RM13, we can bring the roaster to you. Streets in the area include Gerpins Lane and Berwick Pond Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Upminster Bridge (1 mile north), Hornchurch (2 miles north), Upminster (2 miles north-east), Wennington (2 miles south) and Cranham (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (14 miles west), St Pancras (15 miles west), Shoreditch (13 miles west), Walthamstow (11 miles west), Hoxton (13 miles west) and Whitechapel (13 miles west).
A little further out are Hornchurch Urban District (2 miles north) and St George's Hospital (0.7 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Ingrebourne Valley.
- Nearby schools include Sanders Draper School (1 mile north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Optimist Tavern (0.8 miles north)
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Hacton: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Hacton?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Hornchurch Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, 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 to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
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.
