Questions from Brook
Can you roast near the sea around Brook?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Brook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Late September evenings in Brook lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
