How our hog roast hire works in Brands Hill
People book a hog roast in Brands Hill for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We’re frequently asked to cater sports clubs and societies and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Brands Hill, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- 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.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Brands Hill, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
