Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

FAQs for Upper Clapton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas the Apostle: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you cook in Springfield Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
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 cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
For event organisers in Upper Clapton
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What else we do in Upper Clapton
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Upper Clapton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Where the roaster can go in Upper Clapton
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Upper Clapton 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
