Buckland questions
Can you do a hog roast in Brockham Limeworks?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Buckland too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you trade at school events?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.

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 roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
