Party hog roast for Old Ford
Party hog roast in Old Ford, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood parties and engagement parties, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Planning a London party in Old Ford? A hog roast means no cooking for you, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Parties in Old Ford: homes, halls and local tips
Old Ford is about 2 miles west of Plaistow, in Greater London. Wherever your party is in Old Ford, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We bring hog roasts to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a christening at a church like St Paul Old Ford, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. A green space like Grove Hall Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
Parties anywhere in E3, E15 and E9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party in a garden on Bow Road, Wick Lane and Dace Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile west), Fish Island (1 mile north), Bow (1 mile south-west), Hackney Wick (1 mile north) and Bromley (1 mile south).

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
