How our party hog roast works in Beckton
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Beckton suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and leaving and retirement do’s, serving rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Most parties in Beckton are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

For event organisers in Beckton
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Beckton: your questions answered
What if our house in Beckton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a 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’ll bring the rest.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Planning a party in Beckton
Beckton is about 1 mile south-east of East Ham, in Greater London. We cater parties of every size in Beckton. Beckton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Beckton to London (about 7 miles away).
If your garden is too small, local halls and clubs near Beckton can be an alternative, as long as there’s outdoor space for the roaster. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Michael and All Angels Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.
For parties in E6 and E16, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. We can cater a party on streets such as Trader Road, Eastbury Road and Frobisher Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Beckton is on the A13, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. Nearby, we also cater parties in Cyprus (1 mile south-west), North Woolwich (1 mile south-west), East Ham (1 mile north-west), Royal Docks (1 mile south-west) and Wallend (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as London (7 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles west), Kensington (12 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles west) and Shoreditch (6 miles west).

- Schools near Beckton include Kingsford Community School (0.5 miles west) and Oasis Academy Silvertown (0.9 miles south)
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to the invite
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Beckton, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Getting a price

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A word with the neighbours
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
As a London location, Beckton 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’ll advise.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
