Christmas hog roast in Upper Clapton, carved to order
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who do not eat pork. We serve crackling, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater winter open days and christmas family parties.
In Upper Clapton, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Parking near the cooking area
As a London location, Upper Clapton 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’ll advise.

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
