About our wedding hog roast in Upton Park
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. For weddings in a marquee and weddings in a family garden, we’ll put together a menu of salads, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken and more.
In Upton Park, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

For event organisers in Upton Park
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.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Upton Park questions
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are 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. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Upton Park wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
