Hog roast hire for your event in Brighstone
People book a hog roast in Brighstone for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Whether it is weddings and receptions and club events and presentations, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, new potatoes and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Brighstone, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

FAQs for Brighstone
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Brighstone too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

How it works

Evenings in Brighstone stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
