Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late May, sunset in Brightling is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.

Can you cater in Brightling?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brightling and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Should I cook it myself?

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
