Up Nately questions
How far is Up Nately from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Up Nately too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What affects the price in Up Nately
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Up Nately stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
