Common questions in Brownbread Street
Is Brownbread Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
Give us a contact on the day.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Brownbread Street lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
