FAQs for Upton
How far is Upton from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saints Peter and Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels special. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
