Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled

Common questions in Brightwalton
How far is Brightwalton from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Is Brightwalton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from locations
- A named contact at base
- Flat ground at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Brightwalton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
