Seven Kings events: pitches and permissions
Seven Kings is about 2 miles north of Barking, in Greater London. A hog roast suits events around Seven Kings, whatever the venue. We cater 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Seven Kings to London (about 10 miles away).
A summer fête at St John the Evangelist is the classic setting for a hog roast. If your event is in South Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles.
Events anywhere in IG3, IG2 and IG1 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many visitors. Streets in the area include New Road, Lynn Road and High Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Seven Kings is on the A118, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Nearby, we also cater events in Newbury Park (1 mile north-west), Ilford (1 mile south-west), Gants Hill (1 mile north-west), Barkingside (1 mile north-west) and Cranbrook (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles south-west), City of Westminster (11 miles west), Marylebone (11 miles west), Kensington (14 miles west), St Pancras (10 miles west) and Shoreditch (8 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Waltham Holy Cross Urban District (2.2 miles north) and Goodmayes Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Hainault Lodge and Hollow Pond.
- Nearby schools include Palmer Catholic Academy (within half a mile south-west)
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-September events in Seven Kings lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
