Hog roast hire in Upton, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and weddings and receptions.
Somewhere as small as Upton, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
What affects the price in Upton
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:

Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Upton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Saints Peter and Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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 compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
