Hog roast hire in RM14: what to expect
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater parties at home and milestone birthdays, serving new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads.
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
What you’ll pay
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Hog roast catering in RM14: local guide
Across RM14, we cover 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hornchurch, Upminster and Upminster Bridge to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Upminster: If you had St. Andrew's Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If guests are travelling by rail, Upminster station serves Upminster directly. Around midsummer it stays light in Upminster until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Your questions about a hog roast in RM14
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you come to RM14?
Yes, RM14 is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
