Hog roast hire in Bradwell Abbey
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Bradwell Abbey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

How our hog roast hire works in Bradwell Abbey

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Is Bradwell Abbey close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
