Common questions in Upper Walthamstow
Which station is closest to Upper Walthamstow?
Wood Street station, in Upper Walthamstow itself.
What if our house in Upper Walthamstow has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you trade at school events?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Upper Walthamstow is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Ask for a quote
