A hog roast near Lower Brailes
Hog roast hire for your event in Lower Brailes
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Lower Brailes: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re often booked for gatherings after a funeral and festive gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Lower Brailes, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Questions from Lower Brailes
Is Lower Brailes too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
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 will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Light matters for a long roast: around Lower Brailes, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What affects the price in Lower Brailes
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
