Our hog roast hire in E16
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are often asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Around Canning Town

Also close by are St Cedd's Church (under half a mile north), Royal Docks Academy (0.5 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.5 miles south-east). There is a railway station in Canning Town itself: Custom House station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are West Ham United Football Club Museum (1.4 miles north-east) and Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (0.5 miles east). Green spaces within easy reach include Gilbert's Pit and Hollow Pond.
- Parks and local facilities nearby include East Ham (1.7 miles north-east)
A hog roast across E16: what to know
E16 covers everything from Plaistow, Plumstead and Canning Town to 4 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Canning Town: Thinking of a hog roast in Keir Hardie Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Within reach of Canning Town are historic houses such as Queen's House (2.7 miles south-west) and Eastbury Manor House (3.4 miles north-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Canning Town, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
For event organisers in E16
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What affects the price in E16
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
