Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Brookside
Do you come out to small places like Brookside?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Brookside?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you cater in Brookside?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brookside and Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Sign-off from the location
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
