Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it is dark in Brockbridge by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

FAQs for Brockbridge
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary and All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Brockbridge close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
