Book a hog roast in Hacton
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Party hog roast in Hacton, slow-roasted on site
For a christening or naming day in Hacton, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wedding anniversaries and summer parties in the garden.
Most parties in Hacton are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a picture. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Hacton parties: what to know
Hacton is about 2 miles south of Hornchurch, in Greater London. We bring a hog roast for your party to parties anywhere in Hacton, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Hacton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Hacton to London (about 14 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Hornchurch Country Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Matthews Church Hall, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.
Here we cover the RM12, RM14 and RM13 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Gerpins Lane and Berwick Pond Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Hacton we cover include Upminster Bridge (1 mile north), Hornchurch (2 miles north), Upminster (2 miles north-east), Wennington (2 miles south) and Cranham (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (14 miles west), St Pancras (15 miles west), Shoreditch (13 miles west), Walthamstow (11 miles west), Hoxton (13 miles west) and Whitechapel (13 miles west).

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A summer party in Hacton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A heads-up for next door
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
As a London location, Hacton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
