Slow-roasted pork in Brookgreen
Party hog roast in Brookgreen, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include street parties and anniversary parties, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Brookgreen, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Questions from Brookgreen
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Brookgreen too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Brookgreen is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Brookgreen
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Brookgreen
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
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.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. A summer party in Brookgreen stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
