Is a hog roast right for your wake?

- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A clear quote with everything listed
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Space inside for guests
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
Brookgreen is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

What else we do in Brookgreen
Brookgreen: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Brookgreen?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do we need to organise?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
