Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Brompton is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

What else we do in Brompton
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
