Planning a hog roast in IG6
IG6 covers everything from Newbury Park, Gants Hill and Barkingside to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Barkingside: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Children's Church And Lych Gate At Barnardo's, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Thinking of a hog roast in Fairlop Waters? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Barkingside, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

- How many staff will carve and serve
- The full menu and the sides
- Travel and any London charges
- Allergen information for every dish
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
