Party hog roast in Ratcliff
Party hog roast in Ratcliff, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Popular choices include apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for family reunions and neighbourhood parties.
In Ratcliff, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A picture helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Occasions we serve in Ratcliff
It suits all ages, from grandparents to toddlers.
In Ratcliff and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Family reunions
- Retirement parties
- Naming ceremonies
- Street parties
If you had Stepney Green Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Ratcliff hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef
See our pricing and the cost guide.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evening parties in Ratcliff need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Questions from Ratcliff
Can you cater after a service at Royal Foundation of St Katharine?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ratcliff?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
