Upper Chute: your questions answered
Is Upper Chute close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Chute?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
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 bring everything else.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
About our hog roast hire in Upper Chute
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Upper Chute, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
In a hamlet or village like Upper Chute, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Upper Chute hosts choose us

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

What else we do in Upper Chute
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Upper Chute, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
