Hog roast for events in Upper Brailes, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We are frequently asked to cater fundraising events and community days and street fairs, with apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
A fête near Upper Brailes might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Upper Brailes
Do you come out to small places like Upper Brailes?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you trade at school fairs around Upper Brailes?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.

- Allergen information for every dish
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in Upper Brailes lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Gather dietary requirements early
