About our party hog roast in Hornchurch
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are often booked for back-garden get-togethers and milestone birthdays.
Most parties in Hornchurch are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a photo. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat.

Hornchurch: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Saint George's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our house in Hornchurch has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Can you cater in Hornchurch?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
