Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
What affects the price in Upton
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
