DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For event organisers in Upton
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Access for our equipment, without steps
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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Upton questions
Which station is closest to Upton?
Upton has its own station: Bexleyheath station.
Can you do a hog roast in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you travel across Greater London?
All of Greater London is in our area. Tell us the venue for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
