Wedding hog roast for Brook
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How our wedding hog roast works in Brook
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for garden weddings at home and farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brook, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Common questions in Brook
Which station is closest to Brook?
The closest is Wye station, roughly 2 miles away.
How far is Brook from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

Other occasions in Brook
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. At a December wedding in Brook, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
