Planning an event in Brockham?
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

Common questions in Brockham
Is Brockham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A heads-up for next door
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A step-free way into the garden
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
