Upton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Upton?
Bexleyheath station, in Upton itself.
What if our house in Upton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Space for people to queue
As a London location, Upton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to volunteers cooking, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Upton, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
