Hog roast hire in Loxford, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings and receptions and christmas parties, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
In Loxford, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Let us know about the route in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast in Loxford
What if our house in Loxford has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Loxford?
The closest is Barking station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

Loxford: venues, access and local tips
Loxford is about 3 miles north-east of Plaistow, in Greater London. We cover Loxford and its neighbours for events. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
A green space like Loxford Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Churches such as St Luke's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does.
We cater events across the IG1, IG11 and IG3 postcode area. From Dane Road, Eton Road and Natal Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Close by, we cover events in Ilford (1 mile north), Manor Park (1 mile west), Barking (1 mile south-east), Little Ilford (1 mile west) and Wallend (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include London (8 miles south-west), City of Westminster (10 miles west), Marylebone (10 miles west), Kensington (13 miles west), St Pancras (9 miles west) and Shoreditch (7 miles west).
Nearby you will also find East Ham (1.6 miles south-west) and Redbridge Museum (0.8 miles north-west). Open spaces near Loxford include Hollow Pond and Ripple Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Loxford School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Barking Dog pub (0.6 miles south)
Why choose a hog roast in Loxford?
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. Our guide compares the two. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Loxford 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.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Loxford 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
