How our hog roast hire works in Northbrook
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and weddings, day or evening, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Northbrook, 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 plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Parking near the spot
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

Northbrook questions
Is Northbrook close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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 usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Northbrook, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
