Working with your venue

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

FAQs for Upton
Is Upton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you come to a school fair in Upton?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In late May, sunset in Upton is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
