Hog roast hire in Brimpton
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset in Brimpton is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

About our hog roast hire in Brimpton
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for community events and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In a rural place like Brimpton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Common questions in Brimpton
What’s the nearest station to Brimpton?
Midgham station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Brimpton close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
A hog roast compared with other options
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. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you
