How our hog roast hire works in Brightwalton
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Brightwalton, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and work summer parties.
Somewhere like Brightwalton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
See our pricing or the cost guide.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: around Brightwalton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What else we do in Brightwalton
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Brightwalton
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Send us the date, the address or RG20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
