Party hog roast in Up Nately, slow-roasted on site
For a christening or naming day in Up Nately, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and we are often booked for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and getting-engaged parties.
In a small place like Up Nately, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Up Nately: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Stephen?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Up Nately?
Hook station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
