Our hog roast service in Billericay
Billericay is an old market town on a ridge above Basildon, with a long High Street of listed buildings, Lake Meadows park at its centre and the ancient woodland of Norsey Wood on its north-eastern edge. It's mostly residential, with generous gardens and a strong community feel, and open countryside is only minutes away in every direction.
Hog roast catering in Billericay is, for us, mostly about people's own homes and local clubs. We arrive in good time, roast the pork or lamb on site, carve it to order and serve it with salads, potatoes, stuffing, apple sauce and fresh rolls. When the party winds down, so do we — everything is packed away and taken with us.
We cater across Billericay as part of our hog roast catering in Essex. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Billericay
Private parties make up most of the diary: 40ths and 50ths, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers in gardens across the town and in Great Burstead, Little Burstead, Stock and Ramsden Bellhouse. Rugby, cricket and football clubs host end-of-season events, and school and church fundraisers pop up throughout the summer.
Some of the older streets near the High Street are narrow and on-street parking fills up on busy days, so we'll ask where we can pull in to unload. In the outlying villages, driveways and paddocks usually make access easier, but lawns can be soft after rain.

BBQ catering in Billericay
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Billericay gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.

Events we cater in Billericay
Wedding hog roasts
Marquee weddings in the countryside around Billericay, Stock and the Bursteads suit a hog roast wedding breakfast or an evening service. We'll talk through timings with your marquee company so the food lands when it should.
Hog roast wedding cateringCorporate events
Billericay's business community is smaller and more local than neighbouring Basildon's, so work events here tend to be team parties, client summer drinks or small-business Christmas lunches. A BBQ or modest hog roast suits them well.
Catering for company eventsBirthday & private parties
This is where Billericay really comes alive for us. A hog roast in the garden turns a birthday into a proper occasion, and a separate vegetarian or vegan main means nobody is left picking at salad.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Private party cateringWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
Hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Spit-roast lambBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Billericay events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.

Hog roast FAQs for Billericay
Is a hog roast too much for a smaller Billericay garden party?
Not necessarily. For smaller numbers we can scale down the roast or suggest a BBQ instead. Our hog roast vs BBQ guide helps you weigh it up.
Do you cover Stock, Wickford and the Bursteads?
Yes, along with Ramsden Bellhouse, Crays Hill, Downham and the other villages around Billericay.
Do you only do hog roasts, or can we have a BBQ in Billericay?
Both, and lamb too. Plenty of Billericay events have a BBQ on its own or alongside the hog roast. Have a look at the BBQ menu for ideas.
