Slow-roasted pork in Brookland
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Brookland
In Brookland, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. We are often asked to cater thank-you lunches and end-of-project celebrations, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Rural businesses around Brookland can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
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.

FAQs for Brookland
Can you roast near the sea around Brookland?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Brookland?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
A hog roast or other catering?
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
