How our party hog roast works in Uplees
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. Whether it is christenings and wedding anniversaries, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce and more.
In a small place like Uplees, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Uplees questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Uplees?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why choose party hog roast in Uplees?
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near Uplees, such as:
- Neighbourhood parties
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Milestone birthdays
- Big family get-togethers
Thinking of a hog roast in Oare Marshes? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it.
