FAQs for Upton
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Upton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster 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 confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area

Why choose a hog roast in Upton?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read how we price and the cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning a Christmas party in Upton
Upton is about 3 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Upton. Upton is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Upton to Oxford (15 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of Saints Peter and Paul draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 2.5 miles north of the centre. Upton is within about 7 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Christmas parties anywhere in HP17 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Local streets include Homestead Close, Lower Farm Gate and Upton Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Upton, we also cover Dinton (1 mile south-west), Ford (1 mile south), Sedrup (2 miles east), Bishopstone (2 miles east) and Walton Court (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (3 miles north-east), High Wycombe (13 miles south-east), Chesham (13 miles south-east), Buckingham (15 miles north), Amersham (15 miles south-east) and Elmhurst (4 miles north-east).

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas parties in Upton are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
