West Ham: your questions answered
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
As a London location, West Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the roaster
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Crackling

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in West Ham
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in West Ham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
