There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Common questions in Hornchurch Marshes
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Helen and St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Hornchurch Marshes?
Dagenham Dock station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
For event organisers in Hornchurch Marshes
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A step-free way into the garden
- Parking close to the house
Hornchurch Marshes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
