How our party hog roast works in Upminster Bridge
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. We’re often asked to cater christenings and back-garden get-togethers, serving a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and coleslaw.
Throwing a party in Upminster Bridge? A hog roast means no cooking for you, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. Warn the neighbours: it roasts for hours. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Upminster Bridge 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Upminster Bridge: your questions answered
What if our house in Upminster Bridge has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in St. Andrew's Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Autumn parties in Upminster Bridge get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
