How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an evening party in Collier Row, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Collier Row questions
Which station is closest to Collier Row?
The closest is Romford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at The Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Collier Row hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Hosting a hog roast party in Collier Row

Collier Row is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Collier Row to London (about 13 miles away).
