About our hog roast hire in Bramdean
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Bramdean, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater staff days and open days and community events, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Bramdean, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Bramdean questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Simon and St Jude?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Bramdean?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Occasions we serve in Bramdean
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Whatever the occasion in Bramdean, a slow roast goes a long way. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Christmas parties
- Community events
- Work summer parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Simon and St Jude, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast.
