Brands Hill: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Brands Hill?
Sunnymeads station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Brands Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cater in Brands Hill?
Yes, Brands Hill is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will share allergen and menu details.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In summer, Brands Hill has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or SL3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
