How our event catering works in Upton Park
Not every venue in Upton Park has a kitchen, and with us it doesn’t need one: we cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. We’re frequently asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and film and TV crews, serving beef brisket, hog roast rolls with crackling and rotisserie chicken.
In Upton Park, we cater in gardens, yards, playgrounds and office courtyards. With neighbours close by, we pick a spot that keeps smoke and heat away from windows. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you can enjoy the event.

The earlier the better for summer weekends and Christmas. Midweek dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we put you in touch with our venue?
Yes: we will liaise with the venue on access and set-up.

Step by step
We cook outdoors under cover, so a shower won’t stop the food, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Evening events in Upton Park need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We agree where we’ll cook.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
After service, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Hog roast, BBQ or something else?
Hog roast or barbecue? The hog roast is the showpiece, the barbecue the crowd-pleaser. Why not both? Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
