Wedding hog roast near Dagenham
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and evening food after the first dance.
In Dagenham, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Dagenham
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Travel to Dagenham
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in Dagenham are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
As a London location, Dagenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Dagenham?
Dagenham Dock station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
