Hog roast hire in Brompton, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and staff days and open days, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Around Brompton, bookings are frequently at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we will plan around it. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Brompton, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
