A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

How our party hog roast works in Canning Town
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding anniversaries and big family get-togethers.
Most parties in Canning Town are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. Send us a photo. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Canning Town: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Cedd's Church?
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 will gather.
Which station is closest to Canning Town?
Canning Town has its own station: Custom House station.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Canning Town
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
