For event organisers in Brooklands
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.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Daytime open days in Brooklands are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
