Brook: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
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.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you cover Brook?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. On a winter shoot near Brook, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For event organisers in Brook
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We work to the location’s rules.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
