Party hog roast in Bramdean, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. For street parties and family reunions, we can cook jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In a small place like Bramdean, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A heads-up for next door
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Coleslaw

Should I cook it myself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Bramdean
How far is Bramdean from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Simon and St Jude?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Perfect for your party in Bramdean

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Sunset in Bramdean is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
