What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Hornchurch until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Questions from Hornchurch
Can you do a hog roast in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Saint George'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.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Where the roaster can go in Hornchurch
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
As a London location, Hornchurch is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
