Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Upton
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Upton. Typical bookings include christmas markets and society Christmas socials, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
For Christmas parties in Upton, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Upton: your questions answered
Could you cook in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Upton?
Upton has its own station: Bexleyheath station.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you cover Upton?
Yes, Upton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About the food
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A lunchtime Christmas party in Upton is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Light by the serving table
- Vehicle access close by
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
As a London location, Upton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
