Common questions in Brookside
Do you come out to small places like Brookside?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Brookside close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

Christmas parties in Brookside: local tips
Brookside is about 3 miles east of Wick Hill, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We are happy to travel to Brookside for Christmas parties. Brookside is one of 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Brookside to Guildford (13 miles away).
For colleagues travelling by train, the closest railway station is Ascot station, roughly 1.3 miles south of the centre. A winter fair at a school like Papplewick School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Wherever your Christmas party is in SL5 and SL4, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include New Road, The Avenue and Coach Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in North Ascot (1 mile south-west), Plaistow Green (1 mile north), Woodside (1 mile north-east), Ascot (1 mile south-east) and Winkfield (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidenhead (7 miles north), Windsor (4 miles north-east), Boyn Hill (6 miles north-west), Cookham (9 miles north), Furze Platt (8 miles north) and Dedworth (4 miles north).

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

What else we do in Brookside
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By about 3:55pm in late December, Brookside is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Light by the serving table
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
