About our hog roast for events in Brookwood
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for horse and dog shows and small festivals.
At a field event near Brookwood, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal is not offered
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Brookwood have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
