Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Brasted
What if our house in Brasted has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Brasted?
The closest is Dunton Green station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Send us the details.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
A hog roast compared with other options
