Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Northbrook
Do you come out to small places like Northbrook?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Northbrook from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will explain the booking terms.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A named contact for the day
- Level hardstanding or lawn

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Lunchtime bookings in Northbrook are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
