Party hog roast in East Ham, carved to order

A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We are frequently asked to cater getting-engaged parties and summer parties in the garden, with coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.

Planning a London party in East Ham? A hog roast keeps you out of the kitchen, at home or a hall with a garden. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for East Ham

Which station is closest to East Ham?

Barking station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.

Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in East Ham?

Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Do you need power or water?

The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Do you provide china?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?

Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.

Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?

If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

What do you need from us on the day?

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

What comes off the roaster

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Space, access and the venue

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

  • Parking close to the house
  • Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
  • Neighbours warned about the smell

As a London location, East Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Popular choices

  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • Salads
  • Coleslaw
  • Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
  • Crackling
  • Hog roast rolls
  • Jacket potatoes
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Halloumi skewers (V)

Catered or do it yourself?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

  • Let us know roughly how many children
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Collect dietary needs when guests reply
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.

Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

A hog roast compared with other options

Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Why book with us

  • Carved to order by a chef
  • Choices for people who don’t eat pork
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • A choice of salads and potatoes

Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.

The process

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening parties in East Ham need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

  1. Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the garden or drive and quote.
  3. We arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. We carve and serve at food time.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Ask for a quote

Send us the date, the address or E6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
