A hog roast near Brook Street
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Brook Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Hog roast hire in Brook Street, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We are often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
Somewhere as small as Brook Street, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
