Hog roast hire for Upton
Hog roast hire in Upton, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for community events and staff days and open days.
Gardens in Upton tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

What else we do in Upton
Why choose a hog roast in Upton?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book our hog roast in Upton
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Upton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Here’s what people in Upton most often book a hog roast for:

- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs

Where the roaster can go in Upton
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
As a London location, Upton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
FAQs for Upton
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
