Hog roast hire for Dagenham Green
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How our hog roast hire works in Dagenham Green
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Dagenham Green, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include big birthdays and anniversaries and festive gatherings, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a London neighbourhood like Dagenham Green, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
