Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Ilford: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Alban's Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ilford?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

At midsummer, it is light in Ilford until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

What affects the price in Ilford
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
