Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Brambridge
Is Brambridge close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A word with the neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an evening party in Brambridge, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
