About our party hog roast in Upton
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw, and we are often booked for anniversary parties and retirement parties.
In a small place like Upton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules

Upton is about 3 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Thinking about a hog roast for your party in Upton? We cover the whole area. Upton is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Upton to Oxford (15 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Aylesbury Vale Parkway station is about 2.5 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Waddesdon Manor (3.9 miles north-west).

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Think about children’s portions
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Upton, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
