Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Bradwell
Can you do a hog roast in South Loughton Valley park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Bradwell from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Hog roast for events in Bradwell, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Bradwell. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include country shows and tournaments and sports days, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Summer fairs around Bradwell are often run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What else we do in Bradwell
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Bradwell have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

For planners, venues and organisers
