Why choose a hog roast in Upper Street?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Upper Street is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:05pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Questions from Upper Street
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater in Upper Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Upper Street and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
