Hog roast hire across RM10
People book a hog roast in RM10 for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We are frequently asked to cater christmas parties and garden parties and barbecues, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

Hog roast catering in RM10: local guide
There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in RM10, so the setting can be anything from Dagenham, Becontree and South Hornchurch to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Dagenham: Parks such as Beam Valley Country Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Village Infants' School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Dagenham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
RM10: your questions answered
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
