How our hog roast for events works in Brands Hill
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Popular choices include apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for charity fundraisers and church and village fêtes.
At a field event near Brands Hill, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Brands Hill is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
