Hog roast hire in Bramley, carved to order
In Bramley, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We are frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and christmas fairs, with crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
A place like Bramley frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
