Should I cook it myself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Brook
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater in Brook?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Sunset in Brook is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
