We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Planning an evening hog roast in Stratford?

Hog roast hire in Stratford, slow-roasted on site
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for club events and presentations and big birthdays and anniversaries.
London gardens around Stratford are often small and close to neighbours, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Stratford is about 5 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. We cater events across Stratford and nearby. Stratford is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
For a fundraiser at a school like Stratford Circus, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Thinking of a hog roast in West Ham Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it.
Wherever your event is in E15, E20 and E3, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as Gay Road, Cam Road and Eve Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Maryland (1 mile east), East Village (1 mile north-west), Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), West Ham (1 mile south-east) and Hackney Wick (1 mile west).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
