Hog roast hire in Romford, carved to order
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and memorial gatherings, with new potatoes, crackling and coleslaw.
In a London neighbourhood like Romford, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there is no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a picture helps us check. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Romford: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Lodge Farm Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Parking near the spot
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Romford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Romford
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Romford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
