Hog roast hire in RM2: what to expect
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in RM2: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include big birthdays and anniversaries and wakes and memorial gatherings, with coleslaw, crackling and halloumi skewers.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- 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 will pay
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A hog roast across RM2: what to know
From Romford, Gallows Corner and Heath Park to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across RM2 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.
Ardleigh Green: PTAs at schools such as Ardleigh Green Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Historic houses near Ardleigh Green include Hare Hall (less than half a mile north-west) and Rainham Hall (4.7 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Ardleigh Green, 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.

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
