Book a hog roast in Silvertown
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Silvertown, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Silvertown is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 before you book.
Popular choices
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Crackling
- New potatoes
Silvertown: venues, access and local tips
Silvertown is about 1 mile south of Canning Town, in Greater London. We cater events of every size in Silvertown. Silvertown is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cater.
Thinking of a hog roast in Thames Barrier Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Churches such as St Barnabas' Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does.
For events in E16, SE10 and SE7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Whether your event is on Booth Road, Thames Road and Knights Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Nearby, we also cater events in West Silvertown (1 mile north-west), Custom House (1 mile north), Royal Docks (1 mile north-east), Canning Town (1 mile north) and Limmo Peninsula (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (5 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
A little further out are Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (0.9 miles north) and East Ham (2.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Gilbert's Pit.
- Nearby schools include Royal Greenwich Trust School (0.8 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.8 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Anchor & Hope pub (within half a mile south)
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Silvertown: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Barnabas' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Silvertown?
The closest is Custom House station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you cover Silvertown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Silvertown and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
