Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. At midsummer, events in Upminster Bridge stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors

Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Upminster station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
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. Send your date and we will check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
