Hog roast hire around Dagenham Dock
Dagenham Dock is about 2 miles south-west of Dagenham, in Greater London. We cater events across Dagenham Dock and nearby. Dagenham Dock is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 10 miles away.
For anyone arriving by rail, Dagenham Dock station, about 0.5 miles north, is the nearest station. A green space like Parsloes Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
Anywhere in RM9, SE28 and IG11, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event in a garden on Perry Road, Choats Road and Chequers Lane or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Dagenham Green (1 mile north-east), Hornchurch Marshes (1 mile east), Thamesmead (1 mile south-west), Beam Park (1 mile east) and Barking Riverside (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles west), City of Westminster (13 miles west), Marylebone (12 miles west), Kensington (15 miles west), St Pancras (11 miles west) and Shoreditch (9 miles west).

About our hog roast hire in Dagenham Dock
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We are frequently asked to cater weddings and receptions and summer garden parties, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Around Dagenham Dock, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a photo helps us check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Perfect for your event in Dagenham Dock

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Dagenham Dock until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Dagenham Dock questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Martin's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Dagenham Dock?
Dagenham Dock station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater in Dagenham Dock?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Dagenham Dock and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
