Braishfield questions
Is Braishfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to Braishfield?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
