Brook: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Brook?
Wye station, about 2 miles north-west of the centre.
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’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That is exactly how we work.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from kit
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Flat ground at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)

The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Brook ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
