About our hog roast for events in Brook
At a fête, fair or festival in Brook, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We’re frequently asked to cater charity days and community days and street fairs, serving a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Brook might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A safe distance from other traders
- A level pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
