Upton has its own station: Bexleyheath station.
Do you come to Upton?
Yes, Upton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September shoots near Upton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

Preparing for the day

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
