About our hog roast for events in Upper Chute
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Whether it is school events and fun runs and sports events, we can cook hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken and more.
A fête near Upper Chute might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Upper Chute
Do you come out to small places like Upper Chute?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Upper Chute from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
