Hog roast for events near Brading
Village fêtes around Brading suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater car and steam shows and charity fundraisers.
A fête near Brading might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Summer events in Brading have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders
Brading is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
