How our hog roast hire works in Bradwell
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We’re often asked to cater weddings, day or evening and christmas parties, with salads, coleslaw and crackling.
In and around Bradwell, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Questions from Bradwell
Could you cook in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Bradwell from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater in Bradwell?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Bradwell, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
