FAQs for Gants Hill
Can you cater after a service at St George's Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Gants Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- A word with the neighbours
Gants Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Hosting a hog roast party in Gants Hill
Gants Hill is about 3 miles north-east of Forest Gate, in Greater London. Planning a hog roast for your party in Gants Hill? We cover the whole area. We bring hog roasts to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Gants Hill to London (about 9 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Valentines Mansion (within half a mile south-west) and Eastbury Manor House (3.2 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. If you had Valentines Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
For parties in IG2, IG6 and IG1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Bute Road, Perth Road and Shere Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the A123, Gants Hill is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Newbury Park (1 mile east), Barkingside (1 mile north-east), Redbridge (1 mile west), Cranbrook (1 mile south-west) and Ilford (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in London (9 miles south-west), City of Westminster (11 miles south-west), Marylebone (10 miles south-west), Kensington (13 miles south-west), St Pancras (9 miles south-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Waltham Holy Cross Urban District (2 miles north-east) and Redbridge Museum (1.3 miles south). Within reach you will find Hollow Pond and Hainault Lodge.

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Autumn parties in Gants Hill get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
