Party hog roast in Bray
How our party hog roast works in Bray
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. On the menu are coleslaw, apple sauce and jacket potatoes, and we are frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and big family get-togethers.
In a small place like Bray, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning the cooking spot

- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In Bray, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Bray
Can you cater after a service at St Michael's Church?
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.
Could you cook in Braywick Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

What else we do in Bray
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
