Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

FAQs for Upton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Upton close to London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or SL1 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- 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
