FAQs for Becontree Heath
Can you do a hog roast in Parsloes Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Hartley Brook Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you come to Becontree Heath?
Yes, Becontree Heath is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
