Questions from South Hornchurch
What’s the nearest station to South Hornchurch?
Rainham (Essex) station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in South Hornchurch?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
