Questions from Brook
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Brook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
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 will check it with you before booking.
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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Brook are dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Where the roaster can go in Brook
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A level pitch with firm ground
For somewhere as remote as Brook, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
