How our party hog roast works in Upton
In Upton, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and crackling, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement do’s and anniversary parties.
Most parties in Upton are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there is no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. Send us a photo. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Common questions in Upton
What’s the nearest station to Upton?
Bexleyheath station, in Upton itself.
Can you cater after a service at Trinity Baptist Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Upton 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
