Common questions in Brook
Is Brook too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you go to remote locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about a wrap party?
Of course. Send us the details.
Film set catering for your shoot in Brook
Some locations near Brook are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for unit base lunches and commercials and music videos.
Near Brook, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Brook hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, daylight in Brook ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
