Hog roast hire in Upper Street, carved to order
People book a hog roast in Upper Street for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We are frequently asked to cater weddings and receptions and summer garden parties, with crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Upper Street, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Your questions about a hog roast in Upper Street
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Upper Street 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.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.

Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
