Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Brading is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Light matters for a long roast: around Brading, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
