How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September sunset in Brightwalton Green is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Brightwalton Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
