About our Christmas hog roast in Upminster Bridge

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Upminster Bridge
Which station is closest to Upminster Bridge?
Upminster station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Upminster Bridge?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Upminster Bridge?
Yes, Upminster Bridge is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
