Wedding hog roast for Brighstone
Brighstone questions
Is Brighstone too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Planning the cooking spot

- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Brighstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
