How hog roast hire works in RM13
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are new potatoes, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties.
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast catering in RM13: local guide
Across RM13, we cover 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Dagenham, Elm Park and Rainham to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Rainham: A green space like Wildspace Conservation Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. After a service at Church of St Helen and St Giles, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. In Rainham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
RM13: your questions answered
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
