Questions from Brookland
Which station is closest to Brookland?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north of the centre.
Is Brookland close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Can you cater in Brookland?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brookland and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Hog roast hire for your event in Brookland
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and work summer parties, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In a rural place like Brookland, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
What affects the price in Brookland
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
