Party hog roast for Upperton
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in Upperton need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU28 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Upperton
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows?
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 Upperton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
