Slow-roasted pork in Brook
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Brook
In Brook, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. We are frequently asked to cater open days and family days and client and customer events, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and hog roast rolls.
Near Brook, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Do you come out to small places like Brook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
