What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A heads-up for next door
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening parties in Brooklands need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- 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.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Send us the date, the address or KT13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Brooklands
Which station is closest to Brooklands?
Brooklands has its own station: Weybridge station.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Charles Borromeo?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Events we cater in Brooklands
