Hog roast hire across RM8
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in RM8. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for big birthdays and anniversaries and wakes.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
- 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 clear up and go.
Cost
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Becontree Heath: Historic houses near Becontree Heath include Hare Hall (2.9 miles north-east) and Eastbury Manor House (3.1 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Coming by train? The nearest station is Chadwell Heath station, about 1.1 miles west. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Becontree Heath, 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, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

What comes off the roaster

Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

FAQs for RM8
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
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 photo if you are unsure.

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
