Party hog roast in Cranham
Party hog roast in Cranham, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. We serve crackling, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for big family get-togethers and back-garden get-togethers.
Most parties in Cranham 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 picture. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, 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
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or RM14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Cranham
Which station is closest to Cranham?
Upminster station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Luke's Cranham?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
