Upper Eashing questions
Can you do a hog roast in Under Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at St Mark's Church and Community Centre?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Upper Eashing
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
