How our party hog roast works in Lower Upham
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For retirement celebrations and anniversary parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and hog roast rolls and more.
A country party near Lower Upham is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Lower Upham

DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Lower Upham: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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’ll gather.
Is Lower Upham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an evening party in Lower Upham, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

How to prepare

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
