About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

FAQs for Brighthampton
Is Brighthampton 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.
Can you cater after a service at St Giles' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
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.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

- Space away from the building and any trees

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
