Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Brabourne Lees
Is Brabourne Lees close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Brabourne Lees too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How our corporate hog roast works in Brabourne Lees
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Brabourne Lees all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for staff summer days and site open days.
Near Brabourne Lees, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Daytime open days in Brabourne Lees are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
