Slow-roasted pork in Brook Street
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Wedding hog roast in Brook Street, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and intimate weddings, serving new potatoes, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brook Street, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Brook Street questions
Is Brook Street close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Brook Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Lighting for evening service
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
