A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Hog roast hire in Brook Street, slow-roasted on site
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Brook Street. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Whether it is work summer parties and clubhouse events, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Brook Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Parking near the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Brook Street: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Brook Street?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Brook Street, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
