A hog roast near Brede
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Christmas hog roast in Brede, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include lights switch-on evenings and end-of-term celebrations, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Brede, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Questions from Brede
What’s the nearest station to Brede?
The closest is Doleham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Brede?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Brede hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Served at the time you choose
