Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
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.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Upper Clapton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?

- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
