Bringing a hog roast to Collier Row

About our hog roast hire in Collier Row
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For work summer parties and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In Collier Row, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Collier Row
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Collier Row is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast in Collier Row
What if our house in Collier Row has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Collier Row?
Romford station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Can you work around our timings?

Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
For event organisers in Collier Row
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
