Slow-roasted pork in Upham
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Wedding hog roast near Upham
For a relaxed wedding in Upham, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. We are often asked to cater evening food after the first dance and the day after the wedding, with crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near Upham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What else we do in Upham
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Winter weddings in Upham are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Upham
How far is Upham from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Upham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
