Becontree questions
What if our house in Becontree has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at St George's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you cater in Becontree?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Becontree and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
