How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Brook is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Brook
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for Brook, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Common questions in Brook
What’s the nearest station to Brook?
Wye station, about 2 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you travel across Kent?
We cater across Kent, including Brook. Contact us for a price.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
