How our hog roast for events works in Upperton

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-May events in Upperton have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.

- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive

For event organisers in Upperton
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
