Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Branbridges hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
