About our hog roast hire in Upton Park
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For christmas fairs and corporate events, we can cook hog roast rolls, salads and crackling and more.
Around Upton Park, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and a photo helps us check.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Upton Park, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

A hog roast in Upton Park: local details

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Your questions about a hog roast in Upton Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Upton Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Martin's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Upton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
