Why choose a hog roast in Becontree?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Timed around your day

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
FAQs for Becontree
Can you cater after a service at St George's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in Becontree has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
All of Greater London is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
