Hog roast for events for Brighton Hill
Hog roast for events in Brighton Hill, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. We’re often asked to cater charity fundraisers and community days and street fairs, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
For events in a place like Brighton Hill, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Questions from Brighton Hill
Could you cook in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Brighton Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cater in Brighton Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Brighton Hill and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
For event organisers in Brighton Hill

What affects the price in Brighton Hill
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for Brighton Hill, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
