About hog roast hire in E13
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in E13, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are salads, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for parties at home and big birthdays and anniversaries.
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you’ll pay
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Plaistow: Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (3.2 miles south) and Eastbury Manor House (3.3 miles east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Memorial Community Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. By late September, sunset in Plaistow is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value.

- How many staff will carve and serve
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
