A hog roast near Brattle
Party hog roast in Brattle, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. Typical bookings include family reunions and neighbourhood parties, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Brattle, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Questions from Brattle
Is Brattle too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Brattle?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

At midsummer, it’s light in Brattle until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
