Your questions about a hog roast day in Lower Brailes
Is Lower Brailes too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we’ll be ready.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you come to Lower Brailes?

How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

How we price a hog roast day
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
