DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Common questions in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Could you cook in The Bull Croft?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Brightwell-cum-Sotwell close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
