Party hog roast for Brighton Hill
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Party hog roast near Brighton Hill
In Brighton Hill, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. Typical bookings include naming ceremonies and close and cul-de-sac parties, with crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Around Brighton Hill, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Brighton Hill questions
Can you do a hog roast in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Brighton Hill?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening parties in Brighton Hill need a little planning: 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.
