What affects the price in Upperton
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

Upperton questions
How far is Upperton from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Upperton are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
