Hog roast hire in E6: what to expect

Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for clubhouse events and community events.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
  5. We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

East Ham’s nearest station is Barking station, about 1.3 miles north-east. Nearby you will also find The Who Shop Museum (within half a mile north) and County Borough of West Ham (2.5 miles west).

A hog roast across E6: what to know

From Plaistow, Canning Town and Barking to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across E6 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

East Ham: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Michael's Catholic Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to East Ham are Eastbury Manor House (1.9 miles east) and Valentines Mansion (3 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in East Ham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

  • Access for our equipment, without steps
  • Permission from the venue or landowner
  • Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

Planning for dietary needs

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
  • Add a dietary question to your invitations

We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

What a hog roast costs

There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:

  • Travel to E6
  • Season and day of the week
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • The serving time and how long we are on site

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Getting an accurate quote

To get the best quote, send us:

  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • Your date and serving time
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
  • Rough numbers

The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Full catering or machine hire?

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

E6 questions

How far ahead should we book?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

Is crackling included?

Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

Can you roast in the rain?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

How does hog roast hire work?

We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What’s the price?

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
