Questions from Upminster Bridge
What’s the nearest station to Upminster Bridge?
Upminster station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
What if our house in Upminster Bridge has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for the team
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Upminster Bridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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.

After-work summer events in Upminster Bridge have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
