A hog roast near Brattle
Hog roast for events in Brattle, slow-roasted on site
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling, and typical bookings are for church and village fêtes and community events.
Rural events near Brattle can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Brattle: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Brattle?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Brattle?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you cover Brattle?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Brattle and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you do charity events?
We are happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, Brattle is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
