Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How our party hog roast works in Upton Park
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We are frequently asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, with coleslaw, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In Upton Park, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A photo helps. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.

Where the roaster can go in Upton Park
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Upton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Sides to make it a full meal

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Upton Park, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Upton Park questions
Can you cater after a service at St Martin's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
